Grant's First Christmas Tree Hunt

This year we decided we were ready to go back to having a real tree after skipping last year for fear that Grant would knock it down.  Pretty sure that's still a risk with this year, but we're also realizing it's going to be a risk for the next several years, and we don't want to wait that long for a real tree.  We went to Patterson's Mill (right around the corner from our house), and were quite amused by this old billboard on the side of the building ("Reach for a Lucky instead of a Sweet.")
Maybe next year we'll be putting two little boys in this sleigh for a Christmas picture! 
The hunt for the perfect tree begins...
Found a winner!! (Please forgive our glowing whiteness)
 

Grant enjoyed watching the tree get a good shakedown in the Shaking Machine (pretty sure that's the technical term for it, right?).
