Christmas Tree 2010

So, when I said we had to find and chop down a tree, you didn't actually think we were going to tromp through the woods of Minnesota to find the pefect tree did you? I hope not, because that would be a stretch. We did "chop" down a tree this weekend, but it was from a tree farm and they provided the saw. They did provide the snow for a fabulous flocked look, but while beautiful it actually made searching for the perfect tree a little difficult as we had to shake them all to see how it looked.The snow was a little deep once you got off the road and it made finding the perfect tree very tiring. See that tree without any snow? That's our tree!
Every year, Eli wants a Charlie Brown tree. He didn't get one again this year.

I have a video of the actual falling of the tree, but it's a little boring, so I'll spare you. This is the point where Dennis was saying something like, "Gosh, it sure would be nice if your mom would put down the camera and help."


They had to wait a whole day before they could decorate it. Mom was too busy decorating the rest of the house and dad was putting lights on the house and then Grandma was here so mom and dad had to go out on a date...
It's a major award!

How sweet is Sadie?!?
