So this past week, we took off as a family to hunt down our Christmas tree.
We've done this for the past three years (WOW!!! ) since our move to the Northwest.
I love looking back at this blog to see how the kids have grown .... and they do grow fast.
It's hard to believe we are celebrating out 3rd Christmas in our new home!!
2012's hunt proved itself to be a bit more challenging than past years.
We are no longer dealing with tired children who need naps or clean pants,
but rather with growing, opinionated, teens and pre-teens .... and pre-pre-teens :)
Everyone has their own idea of what our tree should look like ....
what type it should be .... how tall it should be .... how round it should be, etc.
Needless to say, there were tears this hunt. It was hard to avoid them.
When the vote is 4-1, there is not much one can do .....
The pictures, of course, tell the story. I'm not sure much else needs to be said.
..... You figure out what happened :)
Hot chocolate and a little Mama love make everything better.
Oh poor Toby!!!! Its tough being the odd one out! You had terrific weather for your hunt. I hope it doesn't rain on Saturday for ours.
