The Christmas Tree

We took the kids out to find our Christmas tree on Tuesday afternoon. It was a tad chilly, but we still found our little tree. It's such a fun tradition for us! We take hot cocoa and have fun driving through the woods as a family. We typically go to the same area each year because we have had such luck finding a tree we love. We didn't get little Kennedy out of the truck because it was so chilly, but the other kids trudged around to help us search. We found one we all agreed on, daddy cut it down and we brought it home. It's much tinier than the last few years as we are in a smaller place. So on our way home we looked back and the tree was within a foot of being lost to the highway! The wind had caught it and lifted it up over the tailgate and a branch was saving it! LOL We got it home safely after that and brought it in to be decorated right away, we couldn't risk leaving it outside for some thief to take...haha only kidding but the kids were concerned! Anyway I got the lights on and then the kids got to hang the majority of the ornaments with the exception of branches they could not reach. I've got some pictures of our adventure for you! Merry Christmas!
