Christmas Tree Cut Down

One good thing about living up north is having the ability to go cut down your own Christmas tree. There is a farm about 15 miles from our house, so we loaded up on a COLD December morning and headed up the road. The boys were real troopers that day, but I think Joey's shear determination to find his perfect tree kept him from noticing. Jack, on the other hand, wanted to be carried everywhere!  Joey finally found the boys tree for the bay window and he helped Joe cut it down. The family tree was spotted soon after. Thank goodness because if it had taken much longer, I think mommy and daddy were just going to grab a pre-cut tree on the way out. ;)

Under the tree...

Timber!

His perfect tree!

Jack decided that the tree needed to be tackled...here is where he made contact.

...and down they both go!
