O Christmas Tree

This year Matt finally talked me into getting a real live Christmas tree.  He waited in line early one Saturday morning to get the permit to cut one down and I think it was well worth it.  Our truck started having some problems on the way up to Millhollow so we had to stop and choose one where we were.  There were some steep hills, but we all had a good time.

The girls loved exploring, looking for the perfect tree.  (which is harder than you might imagine)

They thought maybe one of these tiny trees would work.  Maybe...but our ceilings are 12 feet.

Hailey found that it was fun to slide down the hill and Aida soon followed.  Aida always wants to do what her big sister is doing, lucking Hailey is a good example (most of the time).

Of course the one we finally decided was down hill.  Matt was loving the chain saw.

Thankfully the tree fell without any problems.  It was pretty tricky getting it up the hill, but we finally made it and headed for home with a huge tree on top of the truck.
