I’d never had a live Christmas tree before Nathanial and I met- But this was the first year we went to chop one down ourselves. Yes. Like in the movies. :)
I haven’t a clue what we were laughing at, but I always love giggly photos. :)
As we looked for the perfect tree, my heart fell hard for the “Charlie Brown” trees!
We took advantage of the soft light and took some photos of each other. :)
I loved Jon’s reaction when they were about to give up looking for a tree!
Nate and I were the first to find the tree of our dreams- Part Charlie Brown tree, part Festivus pole. :) I fully intend to have an “Airing of Grievances” around the dinner table.
“It’s a Festivus miracle!” How many people can balance their tree on the tip of their nose? We can!
Jon and Lorie did manage to find their perfect tree. I love the comparison of these two! :)
I hope you’re all having a magical December! We’ll post photos of our tree all decorated soon enough. :) Happy holidays!

Oh, what fun!!! Isn’t it awesome to go on a hunt for a live Christmas tree?? My family has wonderful memories of this…..now you are starting your own tradition. Can’t wait to see the final result.

SO awesome. I’m already excited about doing it again next year! :)
LOVE this post, guys! I’m beyond jealous that you can actually cut down your own Christmas Tree — I dont think Ive EVER seen a place to do that in Florida. *sad face*
And Jensey — Good Lord, girl! Your eyes are fantastically gorgeous!! ♥ Merry Christmas Root Family!
Awww, thanks, Casie! :)
This post makes me smile. Looks like y’all had fun!–And Jensey- you look beautiful!
Thanks, Jessie! :)
These are the cutest pictures!! Jensey, you and Nate are are so stinkin adorable. I love his rugged mountain man look! What a fun day of searching for a tree. We hope to see you soon!
Thank you, Cheese!! I love the beard, too, but I still can’t decide if I want it to stay or go! I think it looks adorable, but I miss “seeing” him! I know you’re partial to the scruff. ;) We hope to see you soon, too! Email to come shortly! :)
I just wanted to say that Nate’s rugged beard is dreeeeaaamy. Carry on.
Watch it, Mike, he’s MINE! ;)
I ADORE your tree :) Were it not for our cats, we would have a real one also… Unfortunately, as it is, we wake up each morning to one of them sleeping on the limbs of our artificial tree and about half the ornaments on the floor.
Happy Christmas to you all! I hope you have a magical holiday time!
Yikes! Luckily Huck is too short to reach the tree!
Looooooove this!
Loooooove you! :)
Love your coat, Jensey!
But I wanna see pictures of the tree all decorated noooow!
Love that black and white one of you looking down. So pretty :) :) And I love the fact that you guys have a real live Christmas tree!! We got our first one this year too and it’s super fun!
So great that you guys got to go get your own tree. Looks like you always have fun with Lorie and Jon. We love the pictures of you and Nate together, you are such a beautiful couple. Thanks for Sharing!
