Steph, where do you guys go to get your Christmas tree? I've never gotten one in Portland before! Looks like you had a lovely time.

Wonderful photos to document your day.

I especially love the little coats on the sheep :0)

[Susanna]

Simply beautiful!

Love the wrapped-up-sheep! So cozy!

And the tree's a stunner.

It hardly needs ornaments, does it?
Those sheep with coats are too much!
I picked up one of those same old bent laminated plywood school chairs in Seattle in September at a thrift store and my brother (my FAVORITE thrifting pal) picked up two itty, bitty ones and a medium sized one, as well. Apparently, he's working on putting together a "school room" theme in his apartment (tiny room) in NYC with school desks and the likes. The little chairs will serve to hold his speakers and the mid-sized one will hold the stereo in between the other two.

It must *smell* divine. I could almost feel the damp and cool and smell the woolly sheep and mud and tang of pine through your pictures.

Who thought sheep would need overcoats?! They are too funny!

That second picture (with the saw) especially makes me nostalgic. When my brother and I were kids, my family lived about 10 miles from a Christmas tree farm and we'd always go and cut our own every year - it was so much fun and such great memories.

you should be happy to think that 20 or 30 years from now, your children will look back on it and say, "That was so much fun.. That was such a good time."

I would love to get out there and cut down my own tree, but I think with a 1 year old crawling around it might be best to wait until next year? Happy Holidays!

[Alicia]

Beautiful pictures. They tell such a wonderful story. I was debating if we would cut our own tree this year, but after seeing your pictures I know we have too.

This post is beyond gorgeous..
I love to go to the tree farm..

[hannah]

i hope all of that was followed up by hot chocolate. that tree must smell so good...

[Tanya Nichols]

I adore the tree but the boots and coat makes me smile. Enjoy!!

kyrie and anyone else local, we got our tree at Beck's U-Cut and Sheep Farm in Oregon City. they have nobles, douglases, and grands (i talked jack into a noble this year). we've been there a few times and they're really nice (they gave the kids a bag of apples to feed the sheep). there are a bunch of other family-owned tree farms in the area as well. i really recommend it!

Such beautiful pictures, Stephanie! Thanks for sharing!

[Alicia P.]

Oh, see that's what I miss about not having a real tree! Looks like a great day.

[Mimi Warfield]

Beautiful pictures! What great memories you have created with your family. I wish I could be there feeding the coated sheep. Thanks for sharing your day!

[gwendolen]

every image is so peaceful and so nice to have the smell of Christmas tree already filling your home. Your post where you talked about what you were thankful for was beautiful. I just want you to know that I'm thankful for your inspiring eye for photography and your gift of the soft tree pattern! Take care!

Aw. Sheep in coats! That is the cutest thing ever ... (well, next to maybe penguins in coats!) Thanks for sharing. It made my morning.

[tracy whitney]

Great shots! You've got me so excited to get our tree this coming Sunday. I love the magical image that includes your tree in your home. So warm and glowy.

[Amy]

Is it really that flipin cold? The sheets are wearing... something.... I've NEVER SEEN anything like that!

Thank you so much for showing me.

If you happen to know why the sheep are dressed like flashers I'd like to know.

Love and Laughter,
Amy
