Getting Our Christmas Tree!

Yesterday we made our yearly trek to cut down a Christmas tree. It's always an exciting trip!

We decided to go yesterday because next weekend is filled up to the brim and this week looked to be snowy (the kids are off of school today because of the snow and ice). We had only a few hours between the church service and a service at the nursing home so we had to be quick. Unfortunately, the closest tree farm (that wasn't already out of trees) is just over an hour away. That made for a crazy, quick but luckily very effective trip. Yay! 

What do you think of that tree?

 Look, a stick!

Dangerous stick.

Tromp, tromp, tromp.

 We have a winner!

Cut, cut, cut.

She was counting the rings to see how old our tree is.

Lug, lug, lug.

Headed back to the shed.

Need to catch up.

Shaking off the extra needles. Shake 'em off, shake' em off.

Watching the tree shake, shake, shake.

Time to net it up.

Our super-silly, smiley crew as we head home with our tree. Yay!
