christmas tree hunting

so on the saturday after t-day, we made our annual voyage to the hills to cut down our Charlie Brown Christmas tree. this first pic is of {a}. She doesn't seem too happy, but if you look at the second one, she seems to be doing ok there. :)

This year, we decided to cut down two trees- one for upstairs, one down. Just cuz we can....

what, that's IT for SNOW??? How are we supposed to sled in this??{K} helping to cut down the adsolute best tree we have ever found in 10 years of searching! Ok, well, just 8, the first year we didn't try, and then one year a few years later we didn't make the time to go... no Charlie Brown for us this year!!Look closely, I told him to smile in the first, but then he thought he needed to continue to smile all while helping Dad. {A}s turn. He was so cute, carrying the saw most of the time, cutting just about every fallen tree he could see. Carefully decorating the upstairs tree. It was fun to have the boys help this year. I really only put a handful of ornaments on either tree. {A} was so careful to not load down one branch, he looked for open spots to hang the ornaments. {A} was invited to go to a friends house to make a gingerbread house. This was the end result. :)AHHH! SNOW!!! The boys had a wonderful time playing in the snow yesterday.
