It was a pretty view from way up there. And it was a freezing cold day, but we bundled up tight.
While the kids were searching for a tree, Coda found a stick, oh wait....that's not a stick. It's a deer leg bone. That's lovely Coda.
The boys, Crys and Addy snuggle up close.
All of the kids did great on the drive and looking for a tree.
Chris and Ryan hiked down a VERY steep hill to get our tree. That's Chris climbing the way back up to the road.
Here's the tree they found. Chris is hiding behind the tree there.
Our tree in the back of the truck. What a cute family. :)
The tree was too tall for our front room. We had to cut about two feet off the top and a foot off the bottom. It's so hard to judge those things.
Dylan just discovered how to stick his finger up his nose. I'm afraid he's going to hurt himself one of these days. Addison thinks it's just soooo funny.
Addison tried to get the star on top, but couldn't quite reach.
So, Chris helped out and got it up there. I think this is the tallest tree we have had. It's nice not to have to pay by the foot for one.
The girls each putting their ornaments on the tree.
Dylan helped put some on the lower branches. And then take them off, and put them back on.
It looks great guys. We had a fun day with the Smiths and a great time decorating the tree at home. I still can't believe 2009 is almost over.

It warms the cockels of my heart to see the outdoor search for the perfect Christmas tree continue onto the next generation. Isn't it funny how small the tree looks until you put it up in the livingroom. Nice job decorating. I hope you didn't let Coda bring the "stick" back home with him.
That was a lot of fun! I think it needs to be a tradition from now on. Just like when we were little. :)Minus Coda's retrieval!
