Saturday we headed out to Harter's Tree Farm, which is out in South Prairie. Brenda Harter used to work at Mountain Meadow for years and years and is now working at Foothills. She and her family own a small tree farm and I had yet to go out there. For the past few years we have been getting our tree from the farm down the street, which is wonderful. But I was happy to do something different this year.
The tree farm is small, but big enough to have a good choice. It wasn't overwhelming. The grounds weren't muddy so it was easy for us to go tromping all over the place and not get totally dirty. We walked around and checked out many trees. The boys found a lot they liked. Colson picked out a HUGE one. Then found all of the tiny ones! We finally found one and I think it's my favorite tree from the past few years. I love the size and shape. It's perfect.
The boys even got to say hi to Santa. We enjoyed some hot cocoa and candy canes before we loaded up and headed home. And just in time, too. The rain started to fall as we were leaving.
I finished decorating it late Saturday night and was excited for the boys to see it when they got up Sunday morning. They both loved it and Colson was very happy! Cannon was a bit disappointed because I didn't wait for him to help. Note to self for next year: The boys must be awake when decorating the tree! Cannon quickly got over it and helped with watering it and then they moved on to played with toys.
So excited for this holiday season! It's my favorite.
Enjoying every moment.
