The Tree

 This year we made our annual trek to a local Christmas tree farm to cut down our tree.  Last year it was so frigid that the kids didn't want to hike all over to find a tree, so we picked out a pre-cut tree.  This year it was much warmer, so we took the trek up the hill. 

 After some hiking around, Samuel spotted the"perfect" tree and we all agreed that would be the one.

Of all of our kids, Max is the one that seems to share the same interests as Daddy...chopping down trees, splitting the wood, carrying up the firewood up to the house, making fires...basically anything that has to do with wood.  So this year Max brought along his own saw!

Max made the last cut as we fell the tree.

The view from on top of the Christmas Tree Farm was pretty amazing!
