O Christmas Tree....

Every year...( against my wishes) we drive "far away" and get a real tree. I have a perfectly good "real" like one in the basement but you know... what fun is that... so I get the kids all bundled up to venture outside to find a tree. This year they had Santa there...
So after telling Santa what they want for Christmas we are off... "Over the river and thru the woods " to fetch a tree. We cant go to the tree lot right across the road... no we have to walk where no one else goes... What fun is that?? It really didn't take us that long to find our tree... It seemed very blue and I liked that it was tall... Chas stood by it so we could tell if it would fit in the house....


I try to get pictures of the kids by the tree before we chop it down and Chas just wasn't having it... but then we take the traditional lumber jack pose and he warmed up......
