Best. Tree Moment. Ever.

Whitney told me how much they loved the place they bought their Christmas tree from, so we decided to check it out...

We loved it! It was called Old Mountain Trees, and they went above and beyond to make it a wonderful experience! 

We drove up and there were only two other families there. We got to take a hayride by ourselves to the "forest" where the trees were set up. The girls thought it was the best thing EVER! And I was more ecstatic than they were, so it was a good night all around! 

Once we picked out our tree, we got another hayride back to the firepit and roasted marshmallows while they loaded the tree onto our car. How great is that?!

All of that wonderful, Christmas magic took only 30 minutes, which with kids was pretty much the perfect time period!
 
 
She was SO EXCITED about the hayride!
 
 
Looking for our perfect tree...
 
 
We found it!

Just us and the girls
 
 
Christmas magic deserves kissing!
 
 
Evelyn was playing hard-to-get with the camera all night, but we got a few silly smiles.
 
 
Back at the fire, Daddy and Bella roasted marshmallows.
 
 
Chowing down!
 
 
Stage One is done! We got the tree stand and skirt set up;
tonight we'll work on lights and ornaments!

We used to to Christmas tree places like that when Steve was little. it's a lot of fun for families. More exciting than just going to a store! Glad you could do it!
