The day after we tromped around Parry's U-Cut for the perfect tree to make the season bright, Hannah (who is a pretty bright little girl) turned to me and asked, "Is our tree fake or real?" Rachel and I looked at each other and giggled quietly to ourselves before reminding Hannah about the part of the trip where the tree was cut down. This is when we came up with a brilliant business idea. A fake Christmas Tree Farm. It is for that part of the population that doesn't do real trees because of allergies or whatever other crazy reason (They don't like the intoxicating smell of a Christmas tree in their house?), but that still want the experience of cutting down a tree. They go and choose out their fake tree (in a field of other fake trees of various sizes), cut it down with a fake saw and then tie it to their car to fit in with all of the other cars toting Christmas trees at this time of year. What do you think? I think it is a stroke of genius. :)
Here are a few sneak peaks for you, Leigh Anne. Your family is so refreshing up to my kids. No chasing Clark down to sit back in the pictures, bribing him with a lollipop. No telling Cali to stop rolling her eyes for just a few shots. Will my kids grow out of this or is it just because I am their photographer? Maybe I just need a better bribe. Hmmm....

Brilliant!
For those of us.. who want the chill and rush of picking out a "tree" and a reason to drink hot cocoa after... too funny.
Sarah,
I love them! I can't wait to see the rest. Remember - I did have to yell at Clark a couple of times! When the boys were little I use to bribe them with Happy Meals if they smiled good for the photographer!!
Thanks girl!
