We took our annual drive down to Festus to pick out our Christmas tree this past weekend. We went later in the day and it was busy. It was the best weather day of the weekend, sunny and high 50s! Everyone took advantage and it was crazy crowded.
We took our time looking at the type of tree that we wanted and then we took the tractor to a new section that Scott and I had never seen, up the huge hill. We had to hike pretty far once we got off the tractor to find a tree. We looked a lot. And then Gabe decided this was our tree. And it was the perfect tree.
Scott then proceeded to saw it down. It took a little longer this year to get the tree down - I'm pretty sure we had a dull saw. With an extra push the tree was down and we were hauling it back up the hill to wait for the tractor ride down.
We had a long wait to get our tree. A very long wait. The little train wasn't running due to mud, but the boys were able to play with the other kids and climb on the train. Gabe loved the drivers seat and did fairly well taking turns.
We got home got home and got the tree set up in record time. Gabe helped hang a few ornaments this year while Bennett supervised from his chair.
