The Perfect Tree

What a perfect day!!! Ashley and I woke up this morning to such a smiley and talkative baby. I’m sure she was attempting to tell us how excited she was to adventure out and find our perfect Christmas tree.

With our hot toddies in hand we headed up to Pfaff’s Tree Farm off of Highway 18. As soon as we arrived we packed up Caitlyn in the Baby Bjorn and it began to snow.

She was wide awake and was gazing into the snow. Ash and I were in heaven watching her fix her beautiful big blue eyes on the snowflakes.

One giant flake landed smack dab on the tip of her nose and melted. It made me think of the book my good friend Tiffany bought me for my birthday, Someday, by Alison McGee and Peter H. Reynolds. In it there was a line that read… “One day the first snowflakes fell, and I held you up and watched them melt on your baby skin”. Of course, because of the book and the giant perfect snowflake…I was super emotional and Ashley thought it was funny.

We began our journey into the land of a gazillion trees.

Each tree we passed the snow came down harder. It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas! Ashley and I enjoyed the snow by posing for a few fun photos.

After a little over an hour of searching there it was… Our perfect tree.

Ashley sawed it down and we carried it to the truck.

After paying and loading the tree into the truck we made a quick stop at Santa’s to wish for peace on Earth (Caitlyn slept through the visit).

We made it home safe and Caitlyn put her First Christmas ornament on the tree.

Ashley and I finished decorating our perfect tree.

Our house is now fully decorated and ready for the holidays... and the sweater party!

What a day!
