Christmas Tree Adventures







We embarked on another Christmas tree hunt yesterday. I love this tradition. There's always something to laugh about. This year the good times were my fault. There's no snow at our house, so I didn't really think there would be much snow when we got our tree. Silly me. When will I learn? You'd think it was our first year living in this winter wonderland. Anyway, not only did I not take snow pants, etc. I didn't grab mittens for the kids. Yes, I'm awesome. We really didn't have to walk far to get our tree. But we were in snow, pretty deep snow at that. It took one fall for Sage and she was crying so hard I had to take her back to the truck. So, in keeping with tradition, Jake and Zack continued in the quest to find the perfect Christmas tree. They definitely found it. After a year of being made fun of for his tree last year, Jake got the biggest tree he could find. He was so proud of himself. He even used a regular saw, not his chainsaw, truly sticking it to the man. I have to admit, they did well this year. Good times. This is what tradition is all about...stories to tell over and over every year:)
