Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

When we had Harper in 2010, Matt and I made a BIG decision. At Christmas time, we vowed to only buy real trees.  We love the smell and the "realness" of them.

This year, we decided to go pick it out at The Elgin Christmas Tree Farm.  We had so much fun!! Definitely a yearly family tradition has begun!

Harper wants that one

Mattie had to cut it down! 

Our tree!

The "shaker" shakes off all the yuckies off

They even had a playground
