You know that we love our Christmas trees - so much that we start putting them up early November - just so we can sit by the lights and have our neighbors make fun of us. But, this tree - The Real Tree - is our favorite tree. It's the same story every single year. It's the same conversations every single year.

 AP: "Ok, guys. Should we get a long needle or a short needle tree?"

 Us: "Short."

AP: "Really?? Maybe we should try long?"

Us: "Nope, short"

AP: "OK!! Short it is. Now, fat or skinny?"

Us: "Skinny."

AP: "Really? Don't you want a big fat one??"

Us: "Nope. Skinny. We have to see the fireplace."

AP" OK!! Skinny, short needle, tree hunt it is!"

And, off we go to find the perfect tree - which is usually within the first 5 minutes of searching. But, we ("we" refers to Bennett, Harper and I) make sure to "keep searching" to make it look like we are trying. 🤣

And, then we decorate exclusively with our favorite ornaments. So basically, it's filled with ornaments the kids have made over the years, and the annual ornaments from T - and it's our favorite.
