After a very fun 2nd Birthday Party at Just Jump (an inflatable jump area) for lil Ian, our soon to be nephew, we headed to Krueger's Tree Farm in the hopes of finding that perfect Christmas Tree to cut down.
Cut down being the key words here. It is definitely listed as cut your own tree farm on the website and in the paper and when we went there two years ago we were able to find one to cut down. Well...
needless to say after taking this cute picture and walking up and down the rows of trees and seeing that either the trees that were left to be cut down were way to be big or reserved we had to settle for a precut tree.
It is a very, very nice tree and the farm is cute and the people are super friendly who own it, but it isn't the same to me not cutting a tree down ourselves. Our family has always gone and chopped it down ourselves so as nice as this place is we will go elsewhere next year.
The other sad part of the trip was that that jolly old man in red was supposed to be there at noon. We waited until almost 12:30 and no Santa. So we will go elsewhere to find him too!
But we sure had fun sticking our heads in this tree!
Babies get thirsty tree hunting!
Stay tuned for pictures of our house Christmatized! We didn't get to it today. I was, well I'm not gonna lie, quite crabby about the whole tree situation so I didn't really feel like decorating and we were all pretty tired from the holiday weekend. I worked at Caribou very early three of the mornings and the days were go go go, so we took the rest of Sunday off to watch the Vikes pummel the Bears and play with our lil Linnea.
We will be back in action Monday!

It still looks like a very nice tree! We're getting ours on Saturday- it should be interesting to see what Dylan thinks of it. No breakable ornaments on the tree this year! (At least not down low)
