On Saturday, Ryan, Mama Swartz, and I, went to Ostlund’s Tree Farm, in Singers Glen; in search of a couple perfect Christmas trees.

Already knowing what we wanted we headed up the hill towards the Scotch Pines.

After walking through all of them, we found two great trees and sawed them down.

Ryan took this photo of me sawing our tree.

He then took the saw, and cut down the tree for Mama Swartz.

Here they are, Ryan and his mama at the tree farm:

There was a young man carrying trees down with a four-wheeler, he picked up one of ours, and Ryan and Mama Swartz carried down the other.

After picking and sawing the trees, the Ostlunds kindly shake the tree, freeing up loose needles and wrap it for the ride home.

They then offer a warm fire and hot chocolate, along with a free ornament for the tree.

We chose a Santa ornament for our tree, to go with the star ornament that we chose last year.

We had a great time picking our tree, and truly enjoy the Ostlund’s hospitality!
