Snowy Day at the Tree Farm

The day we went to the tree farm to get our tree started out lightly snowing and very pretty. Within 20 minutes of being at the tree farm, the temp dropped, the wind picked up...the kids were soaked and crying and the snow was blowing. You wouldn't know it from the pictures! It just looks like a gorgeous winter wonderland. :) Here are some shots of this year's crazy tree-fetching experience:

We always love to pet the bunnies they have every year.





The girls in the sled being pulled down the hill by Daddy





Their cousin does not like to be left out, so he plunked himself in the middle of their sled.


Grandpa and Grandma got to pull them around for awhile as we agonized over which tree to cut down


Evicted from the sled by his protesting cousins, Drew resorts to frantically running around in circles


One of my favs from the day...converted to a chocolate black and white for their Christmas card


Last year she would not stand by the tree for the picture, and this year her sister refused...so I guess they are taking turns! :)


Alright guys, chop down those trees!




The long trek back up the hill








Here's one of my brother and his wife with their tree, since they weren't in the other pics


Here we are with our tree! This photo was not taken by me (obviously, since I'm in it, hehe), but I think it is the only one that really shows how the weather had turned on us by the time we left!


By now our tree has been a resident of our living room for about three weeks, so be watching for a more current photo of it tomorrow!
