Annual Christmas Tree Cutting Trip

We made it out two weekends ago for our Christmas tree trip... which would not be complete without a giant cast iron pot of beans-n-weanies for lunch and a thermos full of real hot chocolate.  We found a nice one for the family and the kids each took a small tree for their rooms.  We all packed into the truck and listened to Christmas carols on the way up.  The picture-perfect day was only momentarily disrupted by skirmishes and fed-up-edness... but we'll choose to remember these images and moments instead....
