Oh Christmas tree

We did something new for the Kuysten family tonight and it was a blast with the boys.  We visited Kinsey Farms and cut our own Christmas tree.  We wandered through their field until the perfect tree grabbed us.  Ian was the final quality control in picking the tree.  We started out with a small 5 footer in mind and walked away with a modest 9 foot tree (poor Marco had to carry the thing around).  Ian was also the master cutter even though dad had to take over for the muscle work.  The tree made it into the house perfectly and fit just beautifully in the family room.  Yummm the smell is incredible and we have a tree that the boys can decorate and redecorate all season!  I just can't take my eyes off it--the white lights and kids friendly ornaments make me feel like I am 5 again staring at the tree mom and dad had!!  
The perfect tree found!!

Ok.. maybe it was a little bigger than we thought

Daddy puts on the final lights
More fun on the ladder than decorating the tree
