Cutting the Tree - November 25

We drove to Ruidoso, NM with my parents the Saturday after Thanksgiving to cut down our Christmas trees. We've cut down our own Christmas tree for the past six years, but it's usually been at a Christmas tree farm outside of Waco - not exactly a "nature" experience. We were excited to be close enough to the mountains to cut our tree down in a national forest this year. : )Wyatt was very excited about helping us find the perfect tree for our house. He found this one and said, "This tree won't touch our ceiling. I think we should cut this one." But after thinking a couple more seconds he added, "But maybe we should let it grow a little bit more first."

After walking around a while we did find the perfect tree.


Wyatt helped Danny cut it down...

and Colter put on the work gloves so he could help carry it down the mountain.

Jennifer - it looks like you've got yourself a family of men! Those boys look so helpful cutting down the Christmas tree, and decorating it.

Love you,
