We thought this year it would be really fun to go and cut down our Christmas tree. We have never done this before and decided this was the year. Our first mistake was waiting until one and a half weeks til Christmas. Our second mistake was going the same day we received about 5 inches of snow. Anyways, we found a good spot with lots of trees. As we started hiking up the mountain looking Toph and Alex decided there were no good trees around and they needed to hike up farther. I waited with the two little ones. Ava was visibly shaking from the cold and they both thought a bear was going to jump out and eat us!! After waiting a short time the tree hunters proudly proclaimed they had found the "one". I didn't pay much attention to it until we got home and had to cut 2 feet off the bottom. They sure found a beauty!

I'm so glad you experienced cutting down your first christmas tree! Even though the tree isn't the greatest, aren't the memories?
