Getting the tree . . .

We drove about an hour and a half on Christmas Eve morning to cut down a Christmas tree. We have never done that before and it was soooo much fun! One of the requirements for choosing a tree was that it had to be at least 200 yards from the main road. This meant that we had to trek thru 2-3 feet of snow to get that far. Natalie got stuck a few times, but she had her snowboarding whistle with her and let us know where she was. Andrew was really too short for most of the drifts, so he was piggy-backed a lot :) We had taken a picnic lunch up with us including hot chocolate! After the long ride home again we set up the tree and decorated it!
