Getting a Tree

A hunting a tree we'll go. A hunting a tree we'll go. We got all bundled up and headed up the mountain to look for the perfect Christmas tree. We needed a tall skinny one this year to be able to fit it in our front room.

Gavin wasn't liking this at all but what do you expect a two year old to do when he can't hike up the mountain very well. I also don't know how he got the idea but he thought a BEAR was going to get him so he wouldn't let us put him down.

We finally found the tree and Cody cut it down. It fell right into a patch of dead trees what a joke to get it out. But we got it and it was probably 13 feet tall so we had to cut a few feet off. We always do that I guess they look smaller until you cut them and they are laying on the ground.



Well here is our perfect tree Gavin liked it once we had it to the truck.


This is the first year the kids went up with us to look for one usually I sit in the truck while Cody gets it. It was kind of fun to let the kid in on it this year next year will be better because Gavin will be able to walk up the hill and not be carried.
