Picking out the tree

Here's a post I started a while back but finally got around to putting up.

We went to Elveden Forest to pick out a tree. It was one of the coldest nights yet and the kids wanted to be inside.

Emily was the most opinionated out of all of us. "Can we go now!" "None of these look like our tree!" "Okay, this one looks kind of like it."

We had a fake tree for most of Emily's life. We bought it when she was 2 and had it till we left San Antonio, so she thought our tree had to look the same. Luckily we found one with approximately the same shape. Unfortunately, the place closed shortly before we arrived and we had to return another day to get our tree (a different one of course).

Emily watching the tree get it's net on.

After it was all netted up and ready to go on the roof, Emily says, "Hay, wait! I think a different one looks like our tree!" "Sorry Emily, too late!"
