Last week, for the first time ever, we decided to go with some friends from the neighborhood to cut down our own Christmas tree. The Erickson's do it every year, so we decided it may be fun to try. We didn't know the roads were going to be the worst roads ever, and we didn't know that the other car in our caravan would spin a 360 each direction and spin off the road, barely avoiding a roll over. We didn't know that even in four wheel drive we would slip all over the road on the way up to get the tree. We did know that the KFC lunch would taste good, and 
despite all this, we had a fun time. Here are a few pictures of the process. From Forest to living room. The second picture is the whole group that went, minus me because I am taking the photo. 
So we got the tree home, decorated it, and there weren't even any stow away squirrels. (I love that movie!) 
And of course the kids have to have a funny pose! But I am throwing a cute one in too. No I did not just use the word cute. 
And I like the picture of Eli trying to climb up the snowy hillside. 
So enjoy. Not many words, just pictures. We will be posting a Christmas Update soon, a year in review if you will, and I am even going to try my best to get Rebecca to write it!
