Christmas Tree Farm

There is a place in Fayetteville where Travis and his family would get their Christmas Tree. You get to cut it down. We thought it would be fun this year to cut our own. Paka and Grandma (Travis' parents) came with us!Paka loved having Mika on his shoulders. We didn't tell him she was drooling all in his hair! ;)
The Clarkes family tradition was to pick the ugliest Christmas tree in the lot! I think Paka was bummed I wasn't carrying over the tradition since it was Travis' initial idea back in the day at his house...So we still found the ugliest tree (which actually was pretty cute) and took a picture of it for Brandon on his mission.
Here are the boys carrying our "pretty" tree.
There was a Santa there that took us on a hayride. It was funny, Kaylin was pretty confused why he was driving a tractor. But she's learning (all on her own) that all the Santa's around are just helpers. The REAL Santa (like the one on Polar Express) is at the North Pole busy as can be till Christmas Eve! :)
