The Perfect Tree

Today was not a normal monday here. Dana took the day off from work. We all slept in til 8:00 this morning. Which is in record book territory for our girls. We had lots of projects planned for our day. And got the most important of them accomplished. Daddy got the x-mas lights up on the house and mommy got all of the outdoor x-mas decor out and finished. But the biggest "To Do" for the day was getting our Christmas Tree. Which for Kennedy is the epitimy of excitment. So we headed off the Pine Lake Tree Farm this afternoon and had an awesome time.

Daddy and "His Girls" walking up the big hill to the cabin.


Heading out to the fields!! The girls could have rode the hayrack for hours.


The tree farm is beautiful, the smell is nostalgic and the memories made here are forever.

Here the girls are in front of "The" tree. They were standing so still just like their mommy begged of them to do. I got the perfect picture of them w/ our tree. Don't you think? Ok..not exactly.

The girls were like frozen statues while watching the man cut our tree down.

Load'n her up! There ended up being 3 trees and 3 families that rode back on the hayrack together. It was a load!

Our tree getting the "shake down"

Gentry was in total transe mode while they shook the needles out of the tree. She really loved watching it but she was more infatuated w/ the John Deere tractor. Naturally.

Silly Sister

The sun was setting in the woods and it was time to head home with our perfect tree. Which turned into our HUGE perfect tree. It looks like Big Foot in our living room. But the girls love it...and that makes it perfect.
