Christmas tree farm 2011

Today we ventured out to Haans Christmas Tree Farm in Oregon (!) Wisconsin. ;)



It was a near perfect day. Weather was high 30s and sunny and the kids had a blast.

We started off at the hay playground. How sweet is that?!











(poor bodes with mismatched hand me down mittens)


So adorable with his festive red Christmas hat.

The last two years iz has cried when we went to cut our tree so we weren't sure if this year would be similar. I'm happy to report... No tears! She loved it.


Headed off to pick our tree!









Found it!! We splurged for a giant tree It's pretty perfect.

Thanks babe for hauling it out!


Iz had to have a little tree. ( a bottom branch we cut from ours was perfect to her)


Bodes says- hey this one is perfect for me mom! Just my size!








We planned ahead and brought hot cocoa and candy canes, a perfect treat!

We also saw Santa and mrs Claus and bought a tree topper star, stocking for bodes, and a pink candy ornament for Izzy's "tree".

I spy with my own eyes something that doesn't belong.



Proof that it was giant. heading home to put it up...


Only pic of me from the day- taken by izzy ;)
Perfect fit!


G trying to straighten the tree. With 2 monkeys. So easy.






Lights and star! Izzy loved helping with the ornaments. Of course decorating a tree with two toddlers is hysterical. One step forward and several back. Remember to hang all the ornaments high. And stringing the lights around to look back and see them off the tree or bunched up in a different spot. Lol. Have to laugh. I love taking all the ornaments out and remembering when/who, etc goes with each one. One of my favorite traditions.


Bodes with his stocking. (will post better pic again)


Yeah to such a great day! Can't wait to go back again next year!
