For the past 30 years, our family's tradition is to go to a local Christmas tree farm and cut down our own tree. We love the smell of a freshly cut Noble Fir tree that permeates our home during the holidays. We jumped in the old Suburban and headed out to our favorite tree farm in Sherwood that a German family has owned since the 1970's.
Our 11 year old Benson (77 in dog years) came along to help us pick out the perfect tree. Once we arrived at the farm, he decided he liked the warmth and comfort of the Suburban and wanted to stay put.
It was pretty cold and muddy and so we came prepared in our rubber boots and warm coats.
In checking for high quality, it is helpful to examine the straightness of the top of the tree.
It is also a good idea to check out the huggability of a Christmas tree before deciding if it is the right one for your family.
Freshness is an important factor in choosing a tree too.
Here is one of America's top models, Aubrey, wearing one of the latest fashions in tree cutting attire while Blaine is sawing his Christmas tree.

Fun! I wish we could have been there! Next year, for sure! With a little one in the front pack most likely! Man, I could have tried out my new rubber rain boots!
There is nothing like a fresh tree to make your home smell like Christmas. I will have to try hugging our tree when we get one:-)
