The Christmas Tree Farm is about 30 minutes from where we live, so it's a pretty short drive for a whole lot of fun. You can take a little hay ride out to where the trees are growing and cut your own tree down yourself! Those trees are local pine trees. If you do not care to do that, you can also look through their lovely selection of pre-cut fir trees. Last year, we cut down our own pine tree. This year, since it would have been a bit uncomfortable for me to cut down a tree being this pregnant, we opted for a fir tree. Here's some photos from our adventure...

 |
| And what's a Christmas tree farm without some mini horses?! Totally thought of Tara when I saw these precious little guys! |
 |
| Greg inspecting the trees |
 |
| That's the one! He looks so enthusiastic (he just hates when I take pictures of him) |
 |
| Us in front of the actual farm where the pines grow. It amazes me we're wearing short-sleeved shirts (and I was wearing flip flops). Last year we were in coats and gloves! That's Texas weather for ya... |
 |
| The tree made it home nicely and Dexter, of course, has to inspect it. |
 |
| All decorated! And the Christmas gifts are already underneath (we finished our shopping really early this year)! |

| And here's our mantle, just for giggles! |
I love this tradition we've started as a family and I can't wait to go back next year with little Baby O!

so exciting meg :) i love all the things you're doing starting with your traditions! how fun to continue them next year with baby o! xo
We usually just put up our fake tree because we have FIVE cats that like to destroy real trees but I want a real one so bad! Maybe I can temporarily get rid of the cats...
Hope you got me a mini horse for christmas!!! :)

How much fun! Real trees make my allergies go haywire, so we stick to the fakes...but that is such a fun tradition!
y'all definitely picked a good tree!! this sounds like such fun--I've always wanted to go and chop down my own tree!
CupcakesOMG!
Love the tree! You got a good one! I wish we could have a tree...my kitties won't leave mine alone :(
Such a pretty tree, and a great tradition to start!
I love the tradition of picking out the tree! there is something about real trees in the house that make christmas so much..Christmasy!
How fun - we took our fake tree out this weekend!
That looks like so much fun!!! We always use a fake tree (because I'm lazy about clean up) but I would love to do something like this one day! and LOVE the picture of Greg. haha!!
I can't believe you'll have baby girl here in time for Christmas!! :)
Love Christmas traditions! I wish I had a real tree! We did when I was growing up and it was always fun going to pick it out! Looks like a fun day and your tree looks great!

Getting a Christmas tree is so much fun!!
You are adorable and those are some FATTTTT ponies!!!! Definitely have never missed a meal!
this looks like so much fun!! =) we have to have a little mini fake tree that stands about 2ft tall. my cats eat the real trees, climb in them and then knock them down. :*(
How fun!!!! I love you are already done shopping just in time to enjoy baby O. Speaking of...could you tell her to hurry up...we are all dying to meet her ;)
Your tree is so cute! Love it!
I literally laughed out loud at the picture of him pointing the tree with great enthusiasm!

I am dying to do this next year when i have a new hub!! It looks like so much fun and makes such great memories!
ahhh laughed out loud when you said the mini horse made you think of tara! baby o's first christmas tree is awesome!!
oh I love the trees so much! I want nothing more to have a REAL tree, but Im so afraid that our dog will go run straight for the base and take a nice little tee tee on it...
How fun that farm looks!!!
how does Dexter do with the tree?? Lucy is doing much better! I would love to have a real tree someday :)
How fun!! I wish I could go to that farm but I'm REALLY allergic to Christmas trees. It's always fake trees for us!!
However, I like being able to live through others adventures at the tree farm!!
I love your tree!
Awww, such a cute tradition! I want a real tree, but we are using artificial this year!! Maybe next year!
That tree is awesome! I'm so jealous! :)

How fun is this?! I've NEVER had a real Christmas tree in the home... crazy, right? Hopefully next year we'll go hunt one down for our home :)

Great symmetry on that tree, Meg!
