We went to Misty Run Tree Farm.
Here are Todd and Jake...
with their saw and nifty tree cart..to pull our tree back to the barn.
The boys agreed on this lovely Douglas Fir!We thought we'd picked a huge tree, but it was actually only 6 1/2 ft.
That's as tall as Todd...only the tree
was a lot wider!
The boys are a bit confused...
they don't understand how we're going to get this tree home!
We love our Christmas tree!
Mom and Dad are excited too!
There's my strong husband attempting to cut down his first tree.

There's my strong husband attempting to cut down his first tree.
His confused expression is trying to cover up his frustrated expression...the tree is not budging...he is sawing, and sawing, and sawing, (maybe it's because Todd's in a dress coat instead of some old rugged clothes). He then has me lean into the tree, (which you can't see, because I can't lean and take pictures at the same time)...to try and push it down. After a good 30 minutes, my overwhelming, supermom strength has ripped our tree from the ground...and good old Todd sawed off any rugged remains. Boy, this was fun! I LOVE cutting down our Christmas tree!!!
Alas, our tree is ready to go! Todd's beat...it literally took him 30 mins. to saw down our tree...Jake's nose is running...and Ben is screaming because he's cold. Though not in the picture...the baby is screaming too, but mom is still smiling...'cause she loves cutting down the Christmas tree. This was just our first time...I'm sure next year will be even better!!!

Our tree made it home safe and sound! There she stands, tall and regal!
Merry Christmas everyone!!! God Bless You All!

Todd - a dress coat to cut down a tree? I gotta say, I enjoyed that story...hey, sara and I were looking at old pics today and saw the official CASHS band picture from the 1995 FL trip. Of the entire band and band front arranged for the picture, only one person was looking away from the camera. Any guess who it was?! Ali talks about Ben, Jake, and 'baby kenna' all the time! later guys!
hahaha!! loved this...how mom is still smiling even though everyone else is crying. brian and i probably would've been yelling at each other and the whole farm would've heard us! congrats on the adventure :-)
