Traditions

Every year since we have lived here we have gone to this awesome little Christmas Tree farm the Saturday after Thanksgiving to cut down our Christmas Tree. It seems that we are either traveling during the holidays or have Family visiting that it is hard to have our own Family traditions. This is one that we have been able to keep the few years we have been here. We are going to miss this little place!
















After finding the "perfect" tree twice. (Other people thought it was the Perfect tree also and they were the ones that ended up taking them home) Russ was afraid I was going to fight one lady. I assured him that if she would just put down her saw I could totally take her. We ended up walking away and finding this little joy. I didn't have to fight anyone for it. The kids were not having fun anymore and just wanted me to pick one so they could go get more free hot coco.















































Kanyon was our Lumber Jack this year.















































They are thinking
"don't look at our tree
we cut it down fair and square, hurry Ivy sit on it!"













































Santa even made a visit in the barn.
