Cutting down our Christmas Tress

Cutting down the Christmas tree is a BIG deal in our house. The day we went to cut the tree down it was a super foggy, dreary day until we drove up into the Los Gatos Mountains above the clouds.  It was a magnificent day!  We walked around and found the perfect tree, which we cut down.  Cyrus and I each picked up an end and a kid and carried it out of the forest.  People were practically cheering when we got to the parking lot and plopped it onto the table for them to net it.  That is when we saw it- a giant lizard.  I screamed and the coolness factor of carrying the tree and the kids disappeared.


We got home and started to prepare the tree stand.  The girls were bursting with excitement, so we pulled out their trees.  They each decorated their trees and we put them in their rooms. Daily they redecorate them and frankly I am wondering if they will be year round fixtures in their rooms.

Cutting down our Christmas Tree

It was our 2^nd annual trek to the mountains to cut down our Christmas tree.  It was cold, but gorgeous day.  We headed out and managed to cut down the perfect tree, tie it to the roof and get it home in one piece.  Then we spent the next day decorating it. Now I can say it is definitely beginning to look a lot like Christmas.
