Hunt for the perfect Christmas tree

It was that time of year again and this year we weren't waiting so long that we couldn't find one.  But we find a new place, Braun Tree Farm in Ann Arbor and it was a great place.  We bundled up in our spring best, rain boots and all.  It was 40 degrees and misting.

We got our saw and wagon to pull the tree back and set off on our hunt.  I saw the lights over the most perfect Christmas tree ever.  Only problem.  The tree was about 20 feet tall.  I told Ryan it wasn't going in our front yard, but in our living room.  (A quote from the great Christmas movie).


But he told me it wouldn't work so the search continues.  We found a few along the way but nothing that was the perfect tree.  Then we found this one.  Tall enough - check.  Has character - check.  And I can't feel my feet - check.  Let's take it.  A 10 foot Frasier Fir. 








Tomorrow the decorating begins!
