Annual Christmas Tree Cutting and Decorating

We went back to our favorite tree farm to find our tree. It was a good trip and much less muddy than last year which was good since we had three people to coordinate. The plan was for Will to ride on my back while I carried Laney and Ian walked, but Will did NOT like that plan so we ended up pushing him in an umbrella stroller. It was a very bumpy ride, but he seemed to enjoy it. Ian helped Mike cut down the tree and helped us choose which one (although Mike spotted it right away and we ended up with the first tree we saw). The boys weren't interested in Santa, but they did enjoy cutting the tree and their hot chocolate.
Mike and Ian sawing her down.
This is the only way I get into the pictures - I have to take them myself! Just to prove I was there too...
Ian being silly and enjoying his drink.
William wearing Mike's hat and LOVING his hot chocolate. He wouldn't look at me so this was the best I could do. When he finally did look up he had chocolate from chin to toes.
Before...
Ian putting up the all important "star" (snowman star in this case). He was great at decorating the tree and stuck with it the whole time.

The finished product. Merry Christmas!
