O Tannenbaum

This year, we fetched our Christmas tree from the oh-so-hard-to-get-to other side of the goat pen. This was seriously the easiest, fastest tree-cutting ever for us. I think it took longer to get everyone bundled up than it did to walk to the other side of the pen, let Andrew help saw it down, and drag it back in. Loved it!


He was so proud to be able to help with the sawing, and he did drag it back all by himself!


Jacob and Anna thought the whole process was pretty amusing...Anna loves being on her own two feet out in the snow!


Now for this bit of amusement. The tree pic on the left is from the night we decorated it. Guess which branch was easiest for the kids to reach? And then the tree on the right was how it appeared when we got home from church on Christmas Eve. We hadn't noticed it on the way out, but Andrew confessed it had been his idea, and we had a pretty good laugh over it!
