Selecting our Christmas Tree

After killing two live Christmas trees, Matt decided he wanted us to go and select our own Christmas tree to cut down this year. The selection process was quite fun with the kids running all around and playing hide and seek in the Christmas trees. We managed to select a cute one that fitted in the boot of our new car. It looks very pretty all decorated and it smells great. We had quite a job trying to get it to stay upright in it's bucket but with the help of some bricks and jars filled with sand, it hasn't fallen over yet. Touch wood!

Today, Mr Tipkens decided that he quite liked the Christmas tree and snuck inside and hid under the Christmas tree pretending he was a present.
