Seems like every year we do this, we get a little smarter and better at getting the perfect tree for Christmas.
No more walking 2 miles looking for a tree. Now we drive until we find a spot that has enough to choose from. The key is to not wander too far from the truck so you don't have to haul it over a mile holding a chain saw.
MJ being MJ
He is such a ham when I pull out the camera.
Mark testing the chain saw
This was the first one I saw. It was nice, but not our tree
This is more like it and of course it was a lot further from the truck than Mark wanted.
MJ and his Daddy:)
The final inspection to make sure it's the right one.
Me with the chain saw after I cut the sucker down. AS IF!
LUNCH TIME
Tree Hunting takes a lot out of you. It was so nice up in woods, so it makes sense to stay for a bit.
Hot dogs are today's lunch special
MJ's gotta inspect em too.
Waving at passersby
Having a contest on who can take a bigger bite. Mark won of course, but give MJ will be giving him a run for his money in a few years. Yeah, I don't even want to think about what our grocery bill is gonna look like in about 6 years!
The I'm so happy to have a hotdog dance
Loading up for our trip home.
Happy DAY! MJ was so excited to get our tree and said he couldn't wait to get home and put on the ornaments we made.
He slept the whole way home and the remainder of the day.
HAPPY HAPPY DAY!!
