2015 Christmas Tree expedition

Following our family tradition, we trekked into the wild for the 10th year to find the Walthour Family Christmas Tree.  

This year the weather is fairly warm and sunny.  We ended up walking back, forth, and back again across the farm to end up at a tree within sight of the minivan.  





















Pictures from the last 10 years can be found on the post below...we have been going to this same farm since moving to Maryland which was also Lucas' first Christmas.

2014 Christmas Tree Expedition…

Following our annual tradition following the steps of the Great Clark Griswold.  … we trekked into the wilderness to cut down the Walthour Family Christmas Tree…

This is the 9th year we’ve made the trip to the same tree farm (Pine Valley).    Family pictures of the previous years are below… it’s amazing how quickly the kids have grown. 

This year it was a bit wet and muddy and at rained a little… The kids had a great time.  Our tree, of course, was located in the field that was as far from the parking lot as possible.. and up-hill in both directions.. .We also misjudged the height of our living room but that was easily rectified when we got home.
