The perfect tree......

Our new family Christmas tradition started 3 years ago. We go to the farm and have sort of an "old fashioned" Christmas....Cutting down a tree in the woods, decorating it with big colored lights and old fashioned decorations, etc....The past two years the trees we have found were HUGE once we got it into the house ( one even fell out of the stand because of its size)....You know they look a lot smaller outside. So Braxton was a little discouraged this year when we found "the perfect tree." He thought it was way to small and was determined to find another one....We did convince him that it will look bigger inside and he finally agreed....
We rolled out of bed Christmas Eve morning to find a tree...Collier even stayed in his PJs!
Look! Collier thinks he has found one......
We found it....the perfect tree......Daddy and Pop get ready to cut it down.....TIMBER.......
Braxton and Emma Chase get to ride in the back of the truck with the tree.....
Then we get up to the house and Tommy and Pop shake it out and get it into the stand.....I always want to make sure that there are no animals and bugs living in the tree....
