Oh CHRISTMAS TREE, Oh CHRISTMAS TREE

It's the PERFECT time to start a new FAMILY TRADITION of cutting down our own CHRISTMAS TREE! Why?? This will be our FIRST Christmas in our new house, and our FIRST time to pick out, cut down, & have a REAL Christmas tree!

The weather was PERFECT...cold and sunny! We went
here to find our PERFECT TREE. The boys loved it, as did Mike and I!

We began by grabbing a saw and measuring stick...

Drew knew just what HE wanted to do with the saw. Cade waited patiently.

Next, we loaded up on a trailer (pulled by a tractor) and headed out to the farm.

After about a 45 minute search, we found the PERFECT TREE...8 ft. tall and a pretty shape...

Now to cut it down...the boys helped Mike...

After cutting the tree down, Mike drug it to the main road, where we waited for the tractor and trailer to pick us up.

Here are Cade and Drew on our ride back to the front of the farm...

Drew STALKED Santa until he was able to ask him if he could take a picture with him...Santa said, "Sure".
