We have traditionally had a real Christmas tree in our home each year. This year we decided to go cut one down ourselves. We left early Saturday morning with Grandma (Joanie) and Grandpa (Scott). We drove down to Ephraim, which was about an hour and a half ride. We brought plenty of warm clothing, a chainsaw and the 4-wheeler with us.
Grandma made sure the girls were all bundled up. There was actually some snow up where we were tree hunting.
We loaded up the chainsaw and jumped on the 4-wheeler. And we were off...
After about 5 minutes into the ride Ashley kept falling asleep. I am sure it had something to do with waking up at 6 in the morning... She is a late sleeper, like her mom.
We let her catch some shut eye while we were getting picking out the tree.
This is the tree we picked out.
TIM-BER!!! Here we are cutting it down. Ella is keeping her hands warm on the 4-wheeler hand warmer.
The girls were freezing when we got them back to the truck. Nothing that OREO'S couldn't fix.
We got the tree in the house... TA-DA!!!
The girls pulling some of their favorite faces...
Ella "trying" to hold Ashley.

I love your tree! It looks just like one I would have picked!
This looked like a lot of fun. I can't believe how big your girls are. Keep blogging this is fun to see your family.
It looks like you had a lot of fun. I miss having a real Christmas tree.
hey Jana - just found your blog (from Annie's). If the tree is any indication, is looks like you had a fun Christmas. Hope all is well!
your cousin, Jessica W.
