We really wanted to cut down a tree this year -- sickness had other thoughts. After we spent 1.5 weeks inside with the girls both having RSV we decided an outing was a must. It was raining and my kids truthfully were still not quite up for an outing. So we went to Lowe's. I brought my camera and I'm so glad I did. Though there are bags of fertilizer and dead plants in the background, my people enjoyed time together picking out our first family tree.
