Oh Christmas Tree!

November 26, 2010 - Our tradition is to cut down our tree on the day after Thanksgiving. Yes, I went Black Friday shopping and scored some awesome deals. After that I changed gears and we left to go get our tree. It was a super bitter cold day. We decided before we left the comforts of the warm truck that we were going to pick a tree really fast. We had to do that one other year and walk up to a tree and cut it right down. This year was a replica to that year. Daddy showed us a tree and we all agreed to hurry up and cut it down. This time I can't be blamed if it is too big!

November 28, 2010 - Noah puts an ornament on the tree. This is another first for him. Last year he was too young to decorate. This year he was able to join in the fun.
MaKayla took her job very seriously! She is hard at work.
Daddy had to get the ladder out to reach the top. Our tree measured 11 feet! That is our biggest one yet!!
Noah is taking a break from decorating and is supervising instead.
Daddy and MaKayla needing a little assistance from the ladder in order to place the last of the ornaments.
Someone looks like he is up to no good!
MaKayla picked out her ornament this year. A little ballerina!

Great pictures - what fun traditions! I love what I can see of your house - and I'm a little jealous of the log home. ;)
