The Hunt for the Perfect Christmas Tree

On Saturday morning as the wind whipped and the snow fell we suited up in layer after layer of warmth and headed out to the middle of nowhere in the search for the perfect Christmas tree! It was the first time that I had put actual snow pants on Leah as well as boots and I have to say she looked so stinking cute. She is also in love with mittens so when she saw the ones that I bought her to play in, she was in heaven!
Seth it so grown up that he could put all of his own snow clothes on by himself, it was GREAT!
We took along some reinforcements because cutting down your own tree isn't as easy as it might look, but it is all part of the "experience"!
Copenhagen got sooooo much more snow than we did in Watertown. It truly looked like a winter wonderland.

The snow is all new to the Beaner so she was checking it out.
Justin must have lost his snow skills after being in Florida for the past 5 months. He was a bit cold in only jeans and rubber boots by the end of the day.
I'm surprised that Leah was able to move her arms or legs she was so bundled up.
Seth was in snow heaven, he had a blast!
Last year Ro used a hand saw and it wasn't easy so this year we brought in the big guns and used the chain saw. Men always have fun with power tools.
Tree #1 ~ Mom and Tom's tree
Tree #2 ~ Our tree
It was the perfect day and we all found our perfect trees!
