It was time again for our annual tree cutting expedition with the Salmos family. Instead of driving for over an hour to our usual awesome tree farm we tried a local place that wasn't quite as accomodating to our traditions. Last year it was in the 50's and sunny and we got to drive right through the lot and it was hard to pick the perfect tree as they were all so great. This year it was cold and snowy and we had to walk. It may have been that a few of us were cranky (me, Reagan, Alicia was a little and Kaiden) but none of the trees were up to par. After walking about 3/4 of a mile we found one for ourselves and Jason took it down. As I told Alicia, if Geof finds one it will be in the back of the lot. Yes, he found his 14 foot tree, in the back corner. It took all his and Jason's strength to juggle that thing back to the parking lot. Alicia and I thought it was quite humorous. I somehow lucked out and got my own drug up to the lot by two awesome 7/8 year olds.
Alicia and Kaiden
Geof and his monster tree
Kyle and his friend TJ taking a break, they still had to bring it down and hill in back of them.
It was hard to get Piper to take a break from playing with Konnor to take a picture.
Reagan looking cute! For most of the adventure she followed me around crying about having to walk. She's developed quite the attitude lately.
We finally decorated the tree tonight. It smells so good and the girls had so much fun putting their bulbs up. Seeing their eyes light up is so much fun!
Layla had to be part of the action.
Piper started her paper chain tonight. I wonder how long it will get this year.
