Christmas Tree Hunt

Going Christmas tree picking seems like a fun activity...


...It was only fun for the first 10 min though. Then everyone started getting cold and tired of walking through the snow. Finding THE right tree is a problem, if you have 4 little kids and both parents are perfectionists. The tree was only $5 with a Christmas tree permit from the local forest service.

I just have to show these pictures. Otherwise one might think we only have happy moments in our little family.

There, Ava is much happier in mama's arms. Lincoln ended up carrying Noa and the tree. Poor Leea had to walk back through the snow to the car. Next time it will probably help if I dress them in their snow gear. We didn't have any snow yet, so I wasn't expecting snow in the forest either. Well, the forest is in the mountains. Duh!

Ahhh, Christmas spirit in the house! We had all other things set up, but the tree is definitely the creme de la creme.
My friend was telling me how they pick their tree in the summer. We will do this next year!

Very cute! & thanks for showing the pictures of the kids cold and in tears (that sounds bad!) But you know, Aaron and I really do imagine your little family always happy and cheery, all the time! :)

Cute pictures! You picked a nice tree. It was worth the tears. Sort of like raising a family.
