Cutting down our Christmas tree


David got home early from work and we went and got Eliza out of school early and then headed up North to cut down our Christmas tree.  This has been a dream for David.  Look how happy he is the whole time.  The kids were dieing to get a Christmas tree set up and decorate it. 
We decided on what kind of tree and the people took us on a hayride to where there were growing.  We spent about 45 minutes looking around and analyzing each tree.  We finally picked one and it took about 20 minutes to actually cut it down.  It was cold and notice Carter's poor broken leg.










 We went back to the cider press and we got doughnuts and cider and sat by the fire.  It was such an iconic Christmas memory. 

 They even had reindeer!!!

That is soooo cute! I can see smiles that just can't be big enough...including those on David's face. What a great memory!!! We would love to have been there to enjoy with you. I want to see the decorated tree.

onYour children are growing up so fast! That tree looks like one of the towering ones you had at your house each Christmas growing up :)
