We had a sweet artificial spinning tree for almost a decade, but it was dying a slow death so we left it in Omaha when we moved. This year, we drove up the Snowies, purchased a $10 tree tag and cut down the perfect Charlie Brown Christmas Tree. The girls had a blast playing in the snow with the Redd girls, Dave got to bust out his sawing skills (just look at that happy face), we all got to enjoy some beautiful nature, and there was even hot chocolate (thanks to the Redds, who are apparently way more prepared than us.) I hope this becomes a new tradition and we have 30 more years of family tree hunting pictures.
Nope, we did not get a new puppy, but the we let the girls pretend with this cute little guy.
It is against the rules to cut a tree without an extra permit, but these girls loved their cute little trees so much we just let them roll with it. Plus, what can you really do once it's already been cut???
