The entire "clan" of my hubby's family (19 of us) would meet up at the grandparents' home bright and early on the first Saturday after Thanksgiving. We would then caravan up to the mountains and each family found their perfect tree. Several times we encountered lots of snow, making it difficult to gauge the size of the tree. Some would arrive home looking similar to the Clarke Griswall's family tree….lol! Such wonderful memories. We now live in AZ, so faux trees are the best option here; otherwise a fresh tree will only last for about a week!

My parents always had a real tree, so growing up it would be a big deal for us to pick it out, too!! I can't wait to see the festive, finished product!
Blessings,
Leslie

I may nick that idea since mine are still young enough. Thanks!

Your children will carry these memories with them for a lifetime. How awesome that they will be able to take their ornaments with them. Love it!
