Amelia was so excited for Thanksgiving Day. She loved watching Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade - the Sesame Street float was her favorite.
We went to Grandpa Ernie's house for Thanksgiving, which Amelia was excited about, but she was so tired, she slept through dinner. Thank goodness for leftovers - she enjoyed mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes that evening.
On Saturday after Thanksgiving, we went to hunt for the perfect Christmas tree. It didn't take too long before Amelia was all smiles when we found the right tree.
Ken did his manly duties and cut down the tree . . . with tips from his lovely used-to-live-on-a-tree-farm wife.
We got the tree cut down before the sun set and headed home to get it on a stand (decorations and lights to happen later).

I love fresh trees but we've never cut down our own. In recent years, I've opted for the fake tree (BOOOOOOO!) simply because I haven't found a solution to avoiding the crispiness/fire danger that results after weeks of having a real one. Any tips?
Brenda - Ken found a tip for less "crispy" trees online - add 1 Tbsp of Karo Syrup to the water when watering the tree. We're testing it out - we'll see if it works.
that is so cool! i've never cut down my own tree. bet it smells good.
