Christmas tree hunting

We went on our annual Christmas tree hunt today.  It is always an adventure.  This time, we didn't have snow.  But we had lots of wind. We never get our tree the easy way, but this year was probably the fastest, because we didn't want to get blown away or have a big pine tree fall on us!

Here we are, bushwacking in search for the perfect tree

Found it!  Everyone has to pitch in to help

The kids all carrying it back to the van

Then I had to make them take off their coats and sit on a wet log for a picture.  Mean Mommy!

All in all, we were there for a total of 20 minutes, and most of that time was spent getting the tree secured to the top of the van.  But it was all worth it, because we now have the BEST CHRISTMAS TREE EVER!!
