Last week the Christmas tree hunt was really on. Since we moved last spring we needed to find a new place to go instead of making the drive to Hillsboro, which seemed crazy. Wednesday was a beautiful day and we decided to try our luck after work. We headed to Lee farms in Tualatin after hearing what a great farm it is. We were told where the nobles were and headed that direction. There were hardly any trees down there and we never once stopped to really look closely at a tree. We headed back up to the pre-cut trees and see if any of those would work, even though we enjoy the hunt and finding it in the farm. We finally asked about pricing... then we left. $8/foot and we didn't even like any of the trees. By then it was too late and dark to continue the search.
Thursday we headed to another lot I found online, in Sherwood. We got there only to find out they were only open on weekends, which it did not say online. Again, too dark to continue the search by the time we got back home.
Friday Josh decided to take off work an hour early and we headed to another farm in Sherwood. We got there and saw a huge lot, full of trees. We were excited. We headed down into the trees and hardly even touched the lot and found several trees we liked. Once we decided on our tree we waived down the workers and they cut it down and threw it on the back of their trailer and drove it back to our car. We were good to go! They told us that on Saturday and Sundays Santa is there and they have hot chocolate and food. We'll have to remember that for next year when Sam is a little more into all the little things. She did love putting her boots on and walking around in the mud each time however!
Then Saturday morning we headed out to Pat's house to help her get her tree. 4 days in a row going to tree lots. We definitely are in the spirit now!
