Christmas Tree Farm Goal

Soo I kinda wrote this up a while ago thinking I would accomplish this Christmas Goal... but sadly I did not. Boo hoooooo tears tears.. I'm over it. So anyways I figured I would post this anyways and show what progress I did make. Perhaps next year this goal will come true.

The goal was simply this:

Christmas Goal: Go to a Christmas tree farm every weekend in December


People sometimes want reasons for these goals. If you're one of them... read on... I think deep down since I've only ever been to a Christmas tree farm once in my life I may be trying to make up for lost time. Plus I just love Christmas tree farms... such a great atmosphere... people are happy.. families are together... I always secretly hope a squirrel will jump out of a tree... and when you have your tree all picked out and on the truck... they have free hot chocolate for you to drink!! (umm the tree farm I went to did anyways)


Weekend #1:
I started off strong.. I went with my parents to get a tree!! It was a fun family outing.. until they shut down every suggestion I gave. It's not my fault that they want some perfect tree that is higher than 2 feet and has a full set of branches. They need to branch out a little more. (bahahahah welcome to Sherylynn's corny joke time. I'll try to limit myself to one a paragraph.) So anyways, once I saw the tree carts... naturally I wanted to sit in the tree cart and be pulled around.... like a Princess... waving at all the suckers that had to walk...

That didn't happen. They made me pull the cart... which is kind of the complete opposite of what I was going for... Don't worry I didn't let that stop my excitement. My parents got some nice fluffy tree, my mom made my dad cut it down and then my mom and I took a picture of us by the tree pretending we had cut it down ourselves and texted that picture to my sisters and brother. That picture I do not have.... BUT you'll just have to trust me that it was awesome. THEN we went and drank free hot chocolate. AND later my friends helped me decorate said tree. Good day!!!

Weekend #2:
Ok... weekend two at the tree farm, still going strong.. but in a bit of a different fashion. Hilarious, Christmas Cheer Car, five hours to find the perfect tree, wild. I can't give too many further details then that. I went with my friend, who is awesome, and she shares the same love that I have for Charlie Brown Christmas trees. Soooo this time I got to hangout in the stubby tree section a lot!! Hooorahh!! You may also note that I was simultaneously completing another Christmas Goal of wearing my Christmas sweater in as many photos as possible.

This was one of the most awesome days, simply being on the hunt for a great tree while in the Christmas Cheer Car, phoning friends to sing them Christmas carols, handing out a ton of Christmas Cheer to anyone and everyone... hanging out around stubby trees... doesn't get too much better then that. So I finally got a tree, it's a bit hard to see as it's laying down but here it is:
                                        

Weekend #3:
Fail. Not too much further to say. I did not get to a Christmas Tree farm... I did however think about it but had many other things going on. Even sadder story... here is a picture of where my christmas tree still was:

Weekend #4:
More Fail. Here is my tree still:
