Okay I discovered the best thing ever last Saturday. We went on another adventure w/ the Calisch family. Danielle told me about this place that they go to and buy their Christmas tree every year. So we decided to tag along since Alexa has been obsessed w/ "Christmas" trees since we went to Yankee Candle. They had so many trees, it was probably bigger than a vineyard in Temecula.
So when we got there we went on this short tractor ride to where all the trees are.
When we get off the tractor they handed Adam (Danielle's husband) a saw. I know, what does he need a saw for. That's what I was thinking. You get to cut down your own Christmas tree.....how cool is that? We are in a really small house right now so we just got a little tree that would fit in front of our fireplace. It's literally as big as Alexa. But she helped pick it out and it was really fun, besides freezing our butts off.
Alexa wanted to keep the piece Anthony cut from the bottom.
It was nice also to be able to let Alexa and Issac just run around. They could burn some energy and not get lost. They seemed to love being free.
When we were done picking out the trees, we went back to the house to pay for the trees and they give you free hot cider, cookies and popcorn. Alexa and I didn't really like the cider but it was still really nice and warm inside. They have this really pretty golden retriever named Rosie. She was the sweetest dog. Alexa and Issac kept petting her and half the time she was laying down letting all the kids just circle around her and pet her she never moved and was very passive. At one point I put Charlie down and Rosie walked right up to Charlie and kissed her little cheek.
It was so cute and Charlie loved it. Both the girls love dogs every time we walk outside they have to play w/ the dog that lives downstairs. The only bad part was that every tree is the same price. When we went to go pay we thought the trees were cheaper than they were and maybe our could be cheaper since it was only 3 ft tall. But when Adam went to go pay for the trees ( because we didn't bring cash) the total came to $80. And if you're anything like Anthony and I $40 is too much for a 3ft tree. So Anthony and Danielle talked to them and they gave it to us for cheaper. But overall the experience was fun. Can you see the joy in their faces.
