So, we went to get our Christmas tree. It was a beautiful day. Not raining, not real cold. Just a nice day for looking for that perfect tree. It seems every year one of the kids gets in one of these tree nest things for a picture! This year it was Luke.
Sam and David looking for that perfect tree? Or not!
The kids all loved this tree. I do not know why we did not get this tree. It looks lovely in the pictures. Maybe it just seemed to soon. And it is pretty skinny on top.
Everyone has their favorite tree. Luke's was too small.
Isaac's was a little taller but still not quite it.
Okay, this is a nice tree that David picked but you have to admit it is the wrong color! We kind of like the green ones.
Sometimes it gets a little confrontational and you have to take the saws away from the children.
Isaac cut down the tree we found for Far Mor.
Hannah cut our tree down.
She was very proud of herself.
This is my job, push the tree to the side as they cut to help them along! I know I look like I put on a few pounds over Thanksgiving, but I am carrying the camera, my phone, extra gloves and car keys in my jacket pockets!
The two lumber jacks!
This is where our tree once stood!
Here are the boys waiting for us to pay for the tree. They don't really mind this part because the girl in charge of the tree farm is really quite cute!
Here are the trees loaded in the truck. And the boys putting up with mom and posing with the trees.
Here is the tree the first time we brought it in. It was touching the ceiling and we were unable to put the star on.
So, Rob took it back out and cut off a little more. Now it fits. We always have the tree in the house for a day or two before we decorate it. Sometimes it looks so nice it makes me wonder why we put all that stuff on it! But put stuff on it we will! Right now it smells so Christmassy! Millie
