The Saturday after Thanksgiving, everyone decided that they wanted to head up on the mountain to get a Christmas tree. This was great for us because cutting down our own tree has become on of our favorite traditions. The weather was beautiful and there was just a light dusting of snow on the mountain, which made it perfect for snowball fights and added to the festive atmosphere. We cut down 3 trees and then stopped to enjoy some great pulled pork sandwiches and cups of hot chocolate. It was a perfect day.
Last year, I distinctly remember saying to Blake, "Next year when we do this, I will have to sit in the car with the baby because it will be too cold." Haha! Looks like I was wrong!
Finding the perfect tree:
In this meadow, there was a random log that someone had carved out into a bench and then put some red flannel over it...Looks like the perfect spot to take a picture of grandkids...only 6 are missing

| Steph and Kurt got a ginormous tree that we had to wrap and secure on top of their car |
 |
| Cousin J. was awesome with Porter...she wore him in the backpack the rest of the day! |

| Danielle vs Blake |
 |
| everyone gang up on Blake! |
 |
| Perfect spot for a game of pine-cone baseball! |
Of course when we got our tree home, the kids were eager to help us set it up :)
Bring on Christmas, we're ready!

What a fun tradition and I bet your house smells so good! Our little fake tree (that we bought during our Aggie Village days) is on its last leg and I keep playing with the idea of getting a real tree, if for no other reason than it would smell so good!
Sounds like an awesome day!!!
