No Charlie Brown his year

We again went the Brule National Forest to find the one tree that will define our house of Christmas this year. And boy did we luck out. Just as Scott was about to make the final decision to cut down a tree that looked about 25 feet high, we found our perfect tree. I personally think someone else had pruned this tree last year as it was the fullest looking tree we have ever gotten from the forest, all with a 5$ permit! The kids were really well behaved and enjoyed sleeping in the car until we actually spotted the tree. Ethan didn't think it was big enough but we convinced him it needs to be a little bit smaller so santa can have room to put presents under it. That was enough convincing for this 3 year old.
