We were lucky enough to be able to spend Thanksgiving in the mountains again this year! We love Echota on the Ridge (the condos we've been staying at the last 4 years)!!! It's so beautiful and there are so many things to do! This Thanksgiving was no different. We ate a HUGE Thanksgiving dinner, went for a hike and then....picked out our CHRISTMAS TREE!!! One of our favorite traditions! We pulled up to Hensen Farms (the tree supplier of the Cole Fam for the last 4 years) and we were in for a shock....there were no trees and there was a road built leading up to new college apartments! I felt like crying! What in the world was going on? Where were our cute little guys to cut down our tree? And what were we going to do? There are a ba-jillion tree farms in the area, but we wanted Hensen Farms! We drove down the road and found another tree farm. Feeling a little deflated, I was willing to give this farm a chance. I canNOT believe what we came across ~ 100 perfect trees! And get this...a 14' tree for $40! This lifted my spirits IMMEDIATELY!!! Just a few minutes before I thought no other farm was going to compare and this new one blew me away! I hope next year we will pull up to our newest tree farm and find another perfect tree and not a new apartment complex!!! What a great Thanksgiving!
