a real Christmas tree


We always had one growing up... and Jonathan loves this tradition even though he did not do this growing up. It is SO fun to go out on a crisp, cold morning - get some hot chocolate and doughnuts, and hunt down the perfect tree. We've been doing this with the Berry's now for 7 years, and it's always such a wonderful way to start the season. Now we all have 3 kids to tote along, and we are thrilled to bring them in on the excitement!! Apparently, Jonathan and Devon are getting older b/c it took two of them to finish sawing this year :) The tree was perfect when we got it home... Happy Holidays!

Real trees are the best! It looks great; however, I'm going to make you start a new tradition of buying an ornament each year. Actually, that's how we accumulated our ornaments.
