I was sharing this story with Mahlon earlier this week and we decided that cutting a real Christmas tree would be a great tradition to start with our little family! So, this afternoon we decided to take a trip to the family farm to get a real tree.
This was the tree that we decided on.
Chainsaw Randy!
Supervise Mahlon!

And out of the truck onto the top of the Equinox :)
Insert Griswold jokes here!
Here is the tree after we got it home, and cut a few feet off of the bottom :)
It is not decorated yet because we wanted to wait for the branches to fall back into place after being tied down to the top of the Equinox before we started placing ornaments. However, I did go ahead and put the presents out :)
I know it's not the best looking tree, but it't the tradition that counts!
Pictures of the finished product to come soon!
I like the tree and boy don't those Farm Bureau vehicles come in handy sometimes!! lol
