montana the christmas tree.

sometimes i post pictures on facebook and then forget about them. however montana the christmas tree needs proper lauding.

back in december (obviously) our friend jon agreed to help us procure a christmas tree. we went to the lot on state street and 90th south where we met matt who ran the place (former fisherman from alaska). the lot had a santa kids could visit, fires to stay warm by, and a hot tub which matt said customers were allowed to use. he also explained the different kinds of trees he had...such as lot vs natural grown trees, some from the dessert, etc. nycole wheeled and dealed to get the price lowered on a natural grown tree from montana. he eventually agreed to her price as long as we brought him back some food later in the week.

here is our tree, dubbed montana :) she smelled fantastic, shed a ton of needles (probably because we kept forgetting to water her) and she consistently made my heart swell with excitement.

we went back to the christmas tree lot, brought matt some food and decided to hot tub. that's right...hot tubbing at a christmas tree lot on state street. kind of awesome. santa stopped by and the alaskans kept offering us beers. epic evening.
