A Birthday and a Christmas Tree

It was my birthday this past Thursday so to celebrate we gathered a few friends and headed out to our favorite winery, Sweet Cheeks for an afternoon!  The only other thing I wanted to do on my birthday weekend was find a Christmas tree.  Now those who know us, rather- Aaron, know that he like to pay the $5 permit and go out into the wilderness and cut down our own tree.  Which is good fun, but it always ends up being somewhat of a Charlie Brown tree.  This year we compromised and went to a tree farm where you still cut down your tree yourself!  It was an awesome place.  Our good friend Mike was in town from Portland and joined us for the hunt!

 Good friends, good wine!
The tree farm we went to was called Northern Lights, it was fantastic!  Once you pick out which type of tree you want, you jump on a hay ride and they drop you off out in their "forest" of Christmas for you to wondering and hunt!  Back at the farm, there were goats, chickens and pigs...Parker was in heaven!!

 Found it!
 Parker was very curious what Aaron was doing...
 I love Christmas time!
