O' Christmas Tree!

Photo Mike took in our back garden, sometimes those naked trees can be gorgeous. 
 CHRISTMAS IS COMING!!! Christmas tree hunting!! We decided, as per Mike's desire, to cut our Christmas tree down this year. Outside of finding a forest in the dark and hoping not to get caught we Googled a location to do this and found one not to far from us. By not to far that means about 45 minutes. :)
 A tree farm isn't the same as the mountains, but the kids LOVED it!! Finding the perfect tree was a bit of a challenge as the kids all had different opinions on what was the best tree.
 Brennan contributed to the growth of the trees with his own watering system--quick no one is looking. That reminded Taylor that she also needed to contribute, but there is no picture of that. :)
 Are we going for a short one this year??? They wanted us to cut one down for each of them!


Cameron was enjoying the outing of looking for his first Christmas tree!

WE FOUND IT!!!



We tried to take a picture ourselves, trying to balance your camera on another pine tree proofed a little difficult, but I think we got it. After some photoshop to lighten the image you can actually see us!
 I had a moment of joy in my life when I watched our little ducklings follow daddy duck out of the field proud as can be of our Christmas tree. It was a sweet moment for me to just remind myself that all the chaos, all the drama is worth it!!


We took one more with our tree because we weren't sure about the quality of the other one, it looked too dark to salvage. You can't really see our tree in this one, however I loved it anyway. :)
