We have been going to the tree farm in Elgin every year since I can remember. I have pictures from each year (I think I need a chipboard Christmas tree book Pam:) and this was the first year that there was no pile of hay for the kids to jump on. There was a hay maze that Kelsie and I checked out, but it said "no climbing on the hay bales." I have such vivid memories of them playing on that pile of hay, playing king of the mountain and pushing each other off then getting into the car with pieces of hay stuck all over their clothes. And even as old as they are, they were still asking, "Are we gonna get candy canes?" There is a little basket of candy canes at the counter where you pay for the tree and of course they always sneak a few more than 1 :) Nolan was sick but we made him go anyway and you can see his excitement!!

We have been there too and the last year we went it was freezing!!
Nolan looks just plain cheerful!!
You do need a "tree" book and I can fix you up! But there sure is a pretty girl in the hay:)
No problem with the hay bales, you know who has a car full! LOL Great pictures. What a neat tradition.
