Visit to the tree farm for a live tree

We usually put up an artificial tree but decided this year to go back to my tradition of a live tree. Lukas is at an age to really enjoy it so off we went with his grandparents to find the perfect tree!

The obligatory shot in front of the "watch me grow" board.


Lukas had a blast running among all the trees. He even helped pull the cart.



While searching through the trees we found something else, our friends the Longos! Lukas was glad to see his buddy baby R! He even took him for a ride on their cart.



While chatting we realized we were standing among several contenders for the Robey family tree. We made our final selection and took some family photos.

I think this was his favorite part, riding on the cart to take it to be shaken and baled for the ride home.


Waiting in line....




Baled and ready to put on the truck for the ride home.


Before heading home we made a stop in the barn for hot cocoa and a look around. While checking out the items for sale we ran across Lukas' school bus driver. She was there selling craft items. Lukas didn't recognize her at first because he is used to seeing the back of her head since he sits behind her every day.
