is for our Christmas tree! So off we went to Belmont Tree Farm in search of two different, yet equally important trees. The first (and most fun to find!) is the Charlie Brown Christmas tree… or rather, the saddest tree on the farm. The one that has no hope of being chosen by a family. This was by far the saddest tree at the farm… it was about 4 feet tall and these were the ONLY green needles!

But it simply wouldn’t do… we need a tree that we can decorate with large colourful bulbs and one big red bulb, for our church’s float in the Fredericksburg Christmas Parade… so we continued our search. Until we found this one…
appropriate level of bendiness... so the ornament will droop!
The Boozilla had the pleasure of doing the cutting. She did a great job, completely the job all by herself.

Second order of business… the tree for the family, to be proudly displayed in the formal living room. This search generally produces a fight or two as well all have the “perfect” tree and try to win the others to our side… However, this year’s selection was one for the record books! NO fights. First tree… we all loved and agreed upon! Whoo hooo! Of course the photo needs to be taken in front of the port-a-john… (a reminder to mind your backgrounds when taking photos!)
What? You didn't think we could possibly take a serious photo did you?
Monkey see... Monkey do!
Of course all that wondering around the farm and cutting down of trees makes you hungry… so off to a fantastic lunch…
mmmmmm greasy burgers and fries... Love me some Five Guys!
Thanks for joining us on our little Black Friday adventure. A couple more pics can be seen on my flickr… just click over there. —————->
