Pictures make a blog much more interesting, I realize, however our internet at home is not doing so great, and my pictures are on my home computer, so you will have to settle for words this morning!
On Monday afternoon, we took our annual trip to the Merry Christmas Tree Farm in Norris, SC. It was quite fun having almost the entire Campbell family. We miss Katie and Monroe at times like these. After walking over the entire farm, there was not a suitable white pine to be found. Tradition is that we cut our own white pine down, every year. I am not completely tied to tradition (biblically there are warnings about that, you know), but I do love the white pine.
The owner of the Merry Christmas tree farm was kind enough to tell us that the competing farm, Hilltop, did have trees, so off we went. Now, mind you, it is freezing cold, drizzling and we have 2 almost 2 year olds along for the adventure. Benton and Daniel were troopers. They had so much fun running in and out of trees, up and down hills, etc. Quite a change from last year's experience.
So, we made the trek a few miles away to Hilltop, and we found our tree. Now, the last few years we have had quite a few fun experiences. We love the big, fat trees. Last year's tree was so crooked that we had a cinder block in our living room (hidden of course) to hold it up. So, this year, we looked for the perfect tree and cut it. Daniel helped Dan drag it to the car! It is perfectly shaped, only a little on the short side. I can't wait to get it decorated. We will try to share a picture. It was a successful adventure; new memories were made, and the tree is "home for the holidays."
