the Charlie Brown tree

As kids my sister and cousins looked forward to thigh deep snow and finding "the one" as nearly annual the gateway to Christmas.  My sister and I are trying our best to pass along this tradition, which we both still love, to our own kids.

Pre-child Christmas tree hunting

sleds for pulling trees and kids = essential

Don't have to get far from the parking lot for hijinks to ensue.

Oh she's got plans!

one child situated, ready for a photo....now to catch the other four!

missing one kid but got the rest looking their best

the journey is most definitely the best part

And this is how it's done.  Dig deep, saw, saw, saw...timber!

These are good memories for all of us (I hope)!
