The weekend of Thanksgiving we usually put up our christmas tree. Since we moved into the new house(Its been 5 years and 2 more kids since) we haven't picked up a live tree. Well, Lilly and Lydia have never been to cut down their own tree so we decided to this year. It is such a fun experience that we will now do it every other year. We always loved doing it but we were worried about needles and sap on our new carpet and we have a fake tree that looks pretty close to real. I always miss the smell.

So we invited Carlee and Spencer to go with us. My Aunt Jinny was here along with my cousin Megan. They came along as well. With 8 kids tromping around looking for trees it was interesting. Carlee and Spence found there Noble first. We put it in the truck. Then we drove to the area with just normal ever greens. We finally found one we could all agree on and Kyle and the girls all took turns cutting it down. We then went back to the office for hot chocolate and they twined it to make it easier for transport. It was a lot of fun. They kids were playing tag in the trees and they all said they can't wait until next time.
