o christmas tree

Boots, coats, hats, and even a few of us had gloves!  This years Christmas tree hunting adventure was cool and wet!  We ran into the barn to meet Mike and Saundra, and to warm up by the fire while we worked out a game plan.  Chad and Mike went out did an initial scout out.  They found a few options for good spots and trees to look at and then we took our crew (including my newborn baby Canon who was strapped to my chest) out into the rain to pick out a tree!

 It really didn't take us long to find a perfect tree, and one that nearly all of us could agree on

 Chad had the kids get in on the action.  They didn't mind one bit getting wet down on grass.  I think Porter, especially felt he had claimed a piece of manhood pushing and pulling the saw!

The only down side of this tree was human error.  We had a heck of a time getting it to stand straight.  In the end we decided leaning a little gave it a little bit of Williams flare!

 And since Christmas trees and Santa go hand in hand, here are couple of three happy kids, one who is just happy to be part of the action, and one that was more than okay with getting away from this very life-like Santa at our annual Breakfast with Santa.
