We thought "Could this be the one?" but it looked a bit bare.
This one looked a bit small.
We finally found the perfect forest...
It seemed the perfect tree was just around the corner!
Chris used his muscles to hoist it out of the forest.
Wow! I hope he isn't too tired!
Maggie was so excited since she didn't get to come pick out a tree last year!
She wasn't sure if it was the right one at first but then she agreed!
Matthew helped daddy tie it up and haul it away!
He is such a big boy!
After we found the perfect spot to put it, we decorated it.
So much fun!
All lit up and ready to go!
More decorating...
And now the star!
I love it! It is the perfect tree for our family:)
Our stocking are all hung on the closest thing I will get to a mantle!
Ok all joking aside I had to make it seem more exciting than just going to get our fake tree out of the storage area!!! So many of my friends are so brave and bundle up the whole family to go cut down a tree. Well maybe in a couple of years but that would be a disaster for the Herzog family. I do envy them a bit for having the strength, patience, and bravery to go out, but I know that there would be fighting and tears for us. This is why we are going to "hunt" for our tree in the storage area for a few years until the kids are a bit bigger!!!! All the same, I love our tree and I am so happy it is up and ready to go!

such a creative little narrative! You said it best--it's the perfect tree for your family! That is what a christmas tree should be, a reflection/story of your family! LOVE IT! Merry Christmas :)
Love, D
This cracked me up AND great taste in stockings!! We have the same ones! Can't beat PB "free shipping, free monogramming" especially since we had to add 2 more this year:-)
Siri~your posts crack me up! I love how easy you make things at times, and that's the kind of stuff I need to do more of. I'm s sucker for a fresh tree though, although that may change someday. I'm glad you finally got your stockings, very cute!
I love it! We went and bought 100 package of shatter proof ornaments from Home Depot last night! We have a huge tree and still not all of them fit! Thanks for the good idea!
