We went to a Christmas Tree farm, picked out and chopped down our first, real Christmas tree as a married couple.
The farm we went to is called Devine Acres Farm in Devine, TX, about an hour or so south of San Antonio. This farm was FANTASTIC! They have about 5,000 trees on their property so it took us a couple of hours to pick out the right one. For each tree that is chopped down every year they plant an additional tree. In addition to their Christmas trees they have tons of fun activities for the little ones: catch and release fishing, mazes, hayrides, farm animals, mini golf, etc. Our plan is to continue to go back every year even when we have little ones.
I kind of liked this little fellow but Steve had grander things in mind.
We settled on a nice 9-10 footer. Since we have 14 foot ceilings in our place it works out pretty well.
Once we picked it out we had a bit of a rough time getting it chopped down. Apparently I was supposed to be pushing while Steve sawed. Oops! Luckily a nice man who worked there came along to help Steve out.
And the same nice man gave us a hay ride back to the front with our tree in tow.
One of my very favorite things about Steve is his love of tradition.
This is one of my new favorites by far.
