Tree hunting


   The Parr family Christmas tree hunt tradition was today.  Kevin & Rebecca, the Edlins, Susan & Rolf, and our family all went with our families to the Meyer Christmas Tree Farm up the road to hunt down the perfect tree.  This was the best weather in years that we have had for our Christmas tree hunt.  It was nice to only need a heavy sweatshirt to stay warm. Many years I have shivered the whole time while looking for a tree.   I think about 50 degrees is the high for the day.
Granny has Jewell as she shows Rolf
3 or 4 trees to choose from.

Kyle, Liz, Jewell, and I all wondered around looking for a spruce tree.
  There's a lot of ground to cover at the tree farm,
but Kyle had scoped it out a lot since it is his favorite place to hunt.



Big sis is trying to help Jewell see
the beauty of her first Christmas tree.

We found it!  Our spruce tree is getting cut down by Kyle
 while Liz is helping to push it down.

  2. We do every year. :-) It is one of the great Parr family traditions because we all do it the same day. It is fun.
