Release Your Inner Woodsman

Next up in our holiday adventures: tree procurement. Usually we just go to Home Depot and buy one of the trees they've shipped down from the Pacific Northwest, but this year we heard about a place where you could chop down your very own tree! True, they weren't firs or spruces, they were pines. But it was still fun to cut it down and nice to "buy local." However, the tree seemed not to like our house and died rather quickly. It was nice while it lasted!

Fueling up before the real work begins.

It's okay to let kids play with saws, right?

And also letting them goof off on tractors.

Dillon hasn't taken a serious photo since 2012.

Still pretty!
