We told Abby that SHE could pick the tree this year. Because really, they all look about the same. Boy, did I not realize how hard of a choice that would be for her. We must have had three finalists. Before it was all said and done her and Grammy walked 1/2 the field. Yeah, I say her and Grammy because I just stayed by where she originally liked the first tree - and the second. Sure enough, we came back, full circle, and picked a tree from that area.
Here are some pictures of Abby and Andy in front of THE tree. The ones above were finalist #1 and #2. See - they all look the same.
Family picture in front of our tree - NOT the Christmas Card photo I was hoping for, but that is okay... I found another. Seems like I'm never at a loss of photos - heehee.
Dad and Charlie had a little "incident" the day before and Dad's hand was out of commission. So, Trav got to cut down the Trees this year. The look on Abby face at seeing Trav run the chainsaw is priceless.
Andy also STOPPED and checked it out as well. Not something he had done since we got there. If Grammy and Abby walked 1/2 the patch, Papa and Andy walked a good 3/4! He had to walk up to each stump and stomp on it. Make sure it was dead I guess?
I love this picture - his reaction to the tree finally coming down in front of him.
Okay, two trees down -now what?
Abby says: "It is too cold out here, let's go get hot cider and candy canes!"
Andy: "Sounds like a plan to me! Let's add a cookie or two while we are at it!"
Then, sadly it was time to go home so we could decorate the tree...
Andy: "What we aren't done? We have to decorate it as well!?!?!?
Don't worry Andy... Abby got it ALL taken care of!
