Old-fashioned Christmas/Chopping down a tree

Back in August, Laurel and Savannah told me they wanted us to have an Old-fashioned Christmas this year.  After some more discussions, we determined that they wanted to go out into the woods and cut the tree down.  They wanted to make all of the ornaments.  They wanted to make a gift for someone.  I was so excited about this Old- fashioned Christmas idea!
Last Friday, we picked the girls up from school and headed to Old Baker's Farm to find our perfect tree.
I always dream that these outings will be perfect and fun.  Sometimes they are, sometimes not so much.  This evening was absolutely perfect.











 Seth had to take Sawyer to the bathroom, so while he was gone, we had a photo shoot among the Christmas Trees.
