fun friday: oh Christmas tree!

last weekend we headed out on a sunny saturday to get our Christmas tree.  last year we started a new tradition...to cut down our tree!  you can read all about last year's Christmas tree here.

this year it was a little bit colder and snow was on the ground, but that didn't stop us...heck we live in MN!  we headed to a different tree farm, because the one we went to last year didn't have many cut your own trees.

so here we go....
todd and k looking for a good one!  k didn't really care that much, but mara had a very strong opinion on what tree we should get...anything little she thought would be perfect!

we found it!!! 
we all agreed this was the best tree for us this year!

todd went to work, cutting it down...
and dragging it to the truck!
and putting it on the truck...thank goodness for husbands!

then we went for a little hayride with trixie and dixie!
it was a lot of fun and a great way to kick of the Christmas season...as a family, enjoy the winter air and just being with each other!
more traditions are coming!

what is your favorite holiday/Christmas tradition?
happy weekend!

  1. I love that there is snow while you are getting your tree. I am in the land of tank top Christmas trimming...not the same effect!
