On the first Saturday of
December, on an absolutely gorgeous day (who could have predicted that 60+-degree sunny day? SO LUCKY!) we headed down to Washington, MO to cut our own Christmas tree.
It's such a cute tree farm, and we left our coats back in the car and enjoyed every minute of our outing-- from searching for the perfect tree to treating ourselves to cookies (and hot cocoa for Noah, the crazy kid. SIXTY DEGREES OUTSIDE.), and watching the tree farm workers put the trees onto the jiggly machine and through the net thingy... The whole thing was just perfection.
We ended our outing back in the riverfront town of Washington at Cowan's, a local mom and pop restaurant famous for their mile-high pie, for a good lunch before heading home to get started on setting up the tree.
Here are the "big camera" photos from our day. Enjoy seeing a bit of what we enjoyed on our trip to Heritage Valley Tree Farm.
