off to the tree farm

Once again we made our way to Piney Acres Tree Farm to pick the perfect Christmas Tree!  The kids were super excited, especially Maryn to take Cormac for the first time.  It was a pretty cold day, but we bundled up and enjoyed being surrounded by all the fresh pine.  It took us awhile to find our tree...they all start to look the same after awhile!  Theo loved the bumpy wagon ride and he and Maryn both loved the cats in the barn. While we waited for them to trim the tree we warmed up with some hot cocoa, popcorn and cookies.  Since the farm is considered a "long" trip the kids know they can watch a movie.  We listened to Christmas music on the way and then on the way home they watched a new movie "Jingle All The Way". I love this tradition!

Maryn and her new friend, the cat.
The cat made sure to keep it's distance from Theo! 
This year they offered carriage rides out to the trees.  Maryn loved
petting the horses.
Ready for our tractor ride!!
I feel like Cormac is looking at Theo for reassurance...not sure he is going to find it!
hmmmm....where is our tree??
Stomping through the trees!
Yea! We found the perfect tree!
A little smaller this year, but less to fall right? :)
Daddy has the big job of cutting it down!

Such a big cookie for a little boy!
awww...fresh air and a full tummy :)
Ready for the ride home...
best part of the trip according to Maryn, "the tree and hot chocolate"
I think someone is going to fall asleep on the way home :)
Still working on that huge cookie :)
Theo's favorite part of the trip, "the tactor...bumpy, bumpy!"
The new travel home movie and first Christmas movie of the season :)
