Oh What Fun Christmas Trees

Our Day-After-Thanksgiving tradition of looking for our Christmas tree continues! Peterson Trees in Salem is our favorite to experience the holiday season with the kids.

We splurged on Dutch hot cocoa with all the toppings—whipped cream, marshmallows, caramel, and peppermint. I loved all the spots for taking pictures! They built a series of ramps for kids to be among the trees.

The young man helping us showed me the White Fir whose needles smell like citrus, and the piñon pine which had an amazing fragrance. Evergreens are one of my favorite scents, especially at Christmas! We each took a vote, and came home with a balsam tree strong enough to hold lights and ornaments. I can’t wait for Baby Henry to have his First Christmas at home and watch his eyes widen with delight at all the beautiful lights.

Love, Kat
