As most of you know, dusty and i go to chop down a tree. Generally it's fairly cold and most times we've come home with a "charlie-brown" tree. Well, the "charlie-brown" tree still graces our living room BUT it was BEAUTIFUL the day we went out! It was so much fun. I always have fun every year but this year was especially memorable for me. 
1) Dusty planned it.
He packed a picnic. He picked the day. He got the truck ready. He helped get the kids ready. He was awesome.
2) We drove 10 minutes.
On previous occasions we've driven at least an hour if not 3 or 4 to keep this little tradition alive. This year we arrived in our tree chopping destination in 10 minutes.
3) Lucy wouldn't touch the snow.
She spent the majority of the afternoon chillin' on the tailgate. If she wasn't there she was being packed around via moi or dusty.
4) Ellie and her fancy footwork.
Ellie tip-toed around the forest to be sure not to "wake-up the bears". I got a few, "SHHHHHHH mom, you are being to crunchie"
5) did I mention dusty packed a picnic!?!
He built a fire and roasted hotdogs with Ellie. He bought them their favorite kind of chips and made us all hot chocolate:)
6) Dusty and the girls decorated the tree.
I like tree decorating. This is how it normally goes. Dusty and the girls decorate and I go behind to "fix" it. Last year we bought a faker on the 28th of dec (wicked deal I paid like $40 and it was exactly what I wanted) so we all decorated that one in november and I did the walk behind after. The real tree however, did not get the walk behind. Dusty thinks I should "fix" it but I think it's one of the nicest trees we've ever had.
