It is officially "Christmas Season" in the Tishendorf house, so this morning after Ryan's basketball practice we headed out to 3 Bears Tree Farm in Aurora to find the perfect tree!!!
Statue at the entry of the farm...
Going on the tree hunt.....
Had a bright idea...."Hey, everyone look at me (and straight into the sun), so I can get a great Xmas photo"....oops.....
Ryan, Ryley and Brandon
Matt was under the tree sawing away (everyone got a turn, accept today's photographer...hee hee). Tyler, Tori and Ryan came to the rescue as the tree began tipping...
Thank goodness we have so many kids or we would never have made it to the car!!!
Matt challenged the family to the left of us to a "tree race"......they won!
The tree on top of the Subaru.....we only had to stop once, when it began sliding off to the passenger side on the way home. Thus the reason for taking 2 cars.....they needed a spotter!
In the afternoon Matt and I took a trip to Cascade Station along the Columbia River in Portland to get some tree trimming supplies!!! The trees on the river are GORGEOUS along the river!!!
A photo looking east....
This evening we brought the tree in.....
We cranked Pandora.com for Xmas tunes and trimmed the tree!
Our finished tree...which will be a work in progress until Christmas.
Then it was time to try and take some photos for our Christmas cards.....One of our outtakes....
.....and another outtake
And another.....if the doggone kids would stop laughing and telling jokes it would make this photo project much easier!!! Of course, we aren't posting our actual photo...you'll have to wait for your Christmas card to arrive!!!
One of our favorites.....Sarah and Tori.....It is so good to have a sister!!!!
