Sunday, Mr. FSL & I joined our family in a yearly tradition. Choosing and chopping down our Christmas trees together. This year we went to a tree farm/vineyard.
No time for a full blown wine tasting. We checked out the shop, ate a trail mix cookie, had some cocoa and hot cider, then off to find our trees.
Looking for the best one. Mr. FSL loves his tape measure as much as I do! LOL! This one is too small.
Sawing….
Bella had strep throat, but wouldn’t miss this for anything. What a trooper!
Taya is camera shy 😉
Timbeeeeeer!
My lumberjack!
Christmastime in Connecticut is the coziest!
What are your Christmas traditions? Do you put up a real tree or fake tree?
Awesome pictures Mindy! My family has the tree farm, chop your own tree tradition too. Picking the tree is always a challenge because everyone in my family is pretty opinionated lol. My Dad came up with a voting system…the parents, my sisters and I each get 2 votes, the husbands only get 1 each…like I said, we’re a spirited bunch 🙂 -Paula
Hahah I like that you guys have a voting system!!!
Awe that looks awesome! We most certainly find a real one. Though we don’t chop it down ourselves sadly.
Real trees smell soooo good
Yay Xmas! mine is all up – we have a fake one!
I put a real one upstairs and a fake one downstairs. I’d put one in every room if I could.
Looks like a great time! artificial tree….and i love it!
What a great tradition!!! I have always wanted to do that but feared it would end up like the squirrel moment in Christmas vacation!!! 🙂 Those little girls are dolls! Looks like SO much fun!
HAHAH! So funny you sadi that! I kept calling my husband Clark & Sparky all weekend!
Great photos! We’re artifical fans only because we’re cheap..and don’t like the mess. I do miss going to pick out the tree each year though!!
