Real tree

It's rather impractical in Australia to have real tree indoors at Xmas. With warm days, trees dry out quickly and can become fire hazards. Last year, we got a live Charlie Brown tree...  

This year, we decided to go real, so we ventured out to the Dandenong Christmas Tree Farm and chose our tree. 

The guy cut it for us....even though Jackson was really keen to.

It got netted for the ride home. 

We put it up ( It doesn't matter who you are: the worst part is  putting the tree in the stand and making sure it is up straight.... and ours is not completely straight!) 

 Jackson and I proceeded to decorate it. All in time for Ella's Christmas themed sleepover.
