Christmas Tree Hunting

The past few years we have met up with Lee's family to traipse through the woods to find the perfect Christmas tree. We usually like to go the weekend after Thanksgiving. This year was no different. Here is the whole crew (Ben, Laine, Remi, Jerry, Lance, and Lee in the back row, LuEllyn, Lulu and Jared in the front).
It was a beautiful day and we spent a long time scouring the woods the tree that would live in our living room.

Lee and Lulu standing by our pick. It is perfect. By far my favorite tree out of the past 6 Christmases.

The whole gang headed back.
