A few months ago we went to our local farmer's market. They were having a gourd festival, complete with corn maze, and an actual pumpkin patch... (I really dislike the fake ones, where they place their pumpkins on a lawn, or in those giant cardboard boxes), we went on a lovely tractor ride, and that was when we discovered that they not only grow vegetables and pumpkins, but pine trees as well.
~ but I already knew this... the Christmas tree patch was started decades ago by a 4H group in this nearby town which was led by the kids' oil painting teacher as a fundraising program for the organization. Lovely Lady.
Anyway, Remy decided right there and then that his year not only would we be having a live Christmas Tree, but he would be the one cutting it. So we bundled up and set out on our adventure.
We got there and started walking around, Remy was running everywhere, he was so excited! They had different kinds of pines, all different sizes.... tough decision, but once we decided which kind of tree we were getting, it was only a matter of getting one the right size. As soon as we chose the one, Remy got down underneath and started sawing away. He only stopped for a few minutes after a needle poked him in the eye, but other that that, it was smooth sailing...
