O' Christmas Tree

Since the $20 Christmas tree we bought at Walmart the year we got married (8 years ago) finally fell over for the last time last year and snapped off at the base we decided this year was the year to get a real Christmas tree.  Steve has been waiting for this for years.  So, a couple of weeks ago we took the boys over to the local Christmas tree "farm" to cut one down ourselves.  The boys seemed to have a good time, and Steve found a beauty of a tree that is over 9 feet tall and is now proudly displayed in our living room.  


They're off to find the perfect tree.
Searching, searching...
Cute Evan!
More searching...
More cute Evan!
Cute Ben!
One more of cute Evan!  (He didn't want to search for trees in the mud so Mommy took the opportunity to take lots of pictures of him.)

Cute Josh says, "I see the perfect one over there!"
The final vote is unanimous...this tree is a winner!

Watch out, were bringing this beauty home!
