I believe this is our 12th year getting a tree at Brewery Hill Tree Farm in LeSueur! We were so happy to see it snow the night before we were planning on going because if it hadn't we'd have been dragging the tree thru dirt. It really was a beautiful site with all the fresh fallen snow. The kids of course had a blast, throwing snow balls, hiding behind the trees and searching for the perfect tree. Natalie just wanted to ride in the sled. :) This year Brian told them that once they found the tree it was their job to cut it down. No help from Dad this year. After about 40 minutes or so they finally agreed upon "the one". Out in the tree farm all the trees start to look the same and for the most part they look pretty full. Well once we got our tree home we realized that it wasn't a very big or very full tree. The girls did a great job getting the tree cut down, however it did take them quite a while. But they kept at it until it was cut. Rachel pulled the tree all the way back to our vehicle and didn't complain once. She of course had the help of the sled! As tradition, we went to Whiskey River on our way home but this year we just had hot cocoa for the girls and a beer for the boy, a basket of fries to share and a bowl to share as well. Once we were home, Brian got the tree in its holder and brought down the ornaments. The girls decorated the tree while we all listened to continuous Christmas songs. It was great! I love this time of year...
