Chopping down the (Cedar) Tree

John and I love to chop down our own Christmas tree. I am not talking about going to a tree farm here. I am talking about hunting down a fence row tree that was previously unloved and taking it home and making it our own. Its very rustic and country Christmas but it wouldn't be Christmas with out it. Tomorrow is the day when we will hunt down our tree. Here are a few pictures from last years hunt!

{Is this the tree?}

Decorating for Christmas

I love Christmas time, so every year the day after Thanksgiving we decorate for Christmas. This year we had our first real tree. Thanks to John's parents who let us cut one from their grove.

John is ready to start cutting, hand me that saw!

Timber!

Hopefully it fits!

Good thing we've got a big station wagon!

Lucy helped us out with the tree. Nice job lucy!

Isn't she a cutie :) Love her!

Our new hood warmer! (j/k!)
