Christmas Tree Hunting 2017

This year, our first snow of the season happened on a Saturday that Papa was home so we bundled up and headed out to get our Christmas Tree a week earlier than planned. We went to the tree farm that we always do. 


Sadly, Santa wasn’t there this year so they did not get a picture with him. We don’t know why he wasn’t there but we hope that he is okay. The kids always love chatting with him. 

Much like every year before this, we spent hours searching for the tree that Papa and the kids could agree upon.
This year, they wanted a very tall one since we have the high ceiling in the living room. 

Papa and Little Bear did most of the searching while the younger three and I followed along. Pudge and Pequeño were more interested in playing in the snow and Cuatro was in the front carrier until we found the tree. 





Found it!



It took quite a while to cut down so the kids played in the snow and took turns helping. One glove was lost in the fun...









The kids didn’t think that it would fit in the machine to bundle it...

Thankfully it did. 

On our way home, we got stuck on a hill. We were lucky to be able to back into a driveway and remain safely off of the road. While there, we saw many other cars become stuck and others sliding all over the road. We sat for a little over an hour (luckily the youngest two were asleep the whole time) and then a plow truck went by and also salted the road. They were clearing the opposite way than we were going so we decided to go that way and go to dinner before going home. 

We went to the same restaurant that we always go to after getting our tree.
