Cutting Down Christmas

The Chainsaw

The Bits, one of whom is being very helpful. Remember, we are all about child labor here.
"Kids, if you want a Christmas tree this year, you are going to cut it down. Or at least get the gas tank" (don't worry, it wasn't full--we aren't into giving our kids hernias)

This one isn't really all that useful yet, but she is darn cute, so we keep her around.

We traveled over the river and through the woods.
Or maybe just walked across the yard to our own personal Christmas tree farm.
(Kallie isn't really being a faithful companion--she is just looking for a stick.)

My Fearless Engineer led the way as we searched and searched . . .

Until we found the perfect tree.
Well, Bitty Bit thought it was the right size anyway.

We ended up opting for this one.

And the Bits did a "cutting down Christmas" happy dance.
