OUR FIRST "REAL" CHRISTMAS TREE

Nov. 27, 2004

Today we drove all the way up to a town called Garland, (Garland is about 40 miles away from the Idaho/Utah boarder),  to get our Christmas tree for this year. 

This was our first year that Chan and I have been together that we have actually gotten a real or maybe the term is "fresh" Christmas Tree.

  It was snowing the entire way there and the kids were anxious to get out of the car.  Ethan LOVED the snow and wondering around the entire tree farm. This was all pretty exciting to everyone. 

Here are some photos of our day at the Tree Farm.
