Our Tree Adventures {Southern Maine Photographer}

Photo overload but this is for the mom in me who wants to document our adventures in choosing the perfect tree. My aunt and uncle own a tree farm and since the kids are older now and the memories are more likely to stick, we venture out to choose the perfect tree. When they were really little, we had a tree in a box that was a nightmare to put together. The itchy fake branches irritated my arms as I put it together and rearranged each limb so it wasn't as obvious it was fake. Now that the boys can help with the cutting and carrying, the experience is fun and happy for us all.

This year we went the day after the first snowfall. The trees were covered and it was beautiful....
This shot of my family venturing out is one I will treasure....its life in Maine.

This boy is the one who gets into the season for all the right reasons! He LOVES gift giving and helping as much as he can.

Branden gets the job of making the cut....second year in a row.

Marleigh's excitement keeps everyone up......

Cameron tagged it so we are sure to take home "Our" tree.....perfect in every way, its full and shapely.... My guys carry it out....

Then is time for some hot cocoa and a tractor ride.......
....there she is.......
before we left, I looked back over the landscape and took this shot for memory sake......the perfect day to choose our tree.......
it waits for us at the bottom of this hill.....all netted and ready to go........
It was a good day. Waiting for the snow to melt off the limbs was a long one for the kids. We decorated the next evening. That story........tomorrow!!!

Today the kids are home from school...there's a storm outside and the excitement to stay in our jammies, eat fun foods, watch some Christmas stories and play in new snow is at its peak right now. I hope it stays "happy" here all day!

Enjoy!
