Ashton's First Christmas Tree

The past several years, Jeff & I have trekked out to the country to cut down our Christmas tree.  We decided to do the same this year, with Ashton in tow of course!  I will admit that this plan turned out to be slightly more complicated than we (or at least I) had envisioned.

We arrived at the tree farm with saw in hand and set out to find the perfect tree.  This elusive tree happened to be about a mile from where we set out, which didn't seem so bad on the way out but....on the way back, Jeff was left dragging a 70lb Christmas tree over a mile while I carried Ashton and two saws (I know, not super safe!).  Oh and did I mention that it was starting to get dark, so this wasn't a leisurely walk!

We survived however and have a beautiful (albeit LARGE!) tree to celebrate Ashton's first Christmas! 

 
Setting out to find the perfect tree.
Ashton was thrilled, can't you tell?  ;)
 
 

Did I mention that Ashton lost a shoe somewhere along the way also? 
 
Getting dark!  Saw quickly!
 
We made it home!


Love,
K & J
