A real Christmas tree…believe it or not, I’ve actually never had one! That is why when my parents offered to let us tag along to pick out their live Christmas tree, we eagerly agreed!
My oldest carried his measurement notes with him and continued to refer to them as he was shopping – “No, that one’s too tall.” “No, that one’s too short".
When we found the perfect size tree, we paid for our tree! Paying with cash gives you the perfect opportunity to teach your kids the value of various bills/coins, and how to add and subtract.
When we arrived back at my parent’s house, we placed the tree in the stand, and my little ones were excited to help with the initial watering of the tree.
