On Saturday, my family (mom, dad, brother, grandparents, cousins, cousin-in-law, aunt, and uncle) and I drove down to this cool cut-your-own-Christmas tree farm and picked out our Christmas tree! Well actually Christmas trees plural... we left with three.
 |
| We picked out my grandparents' tree first... it was pretty tall |
 |
So after they cut it down, they cut off the bottom.
Apparently they didn't cut off enough though,
because it was still too tall to stand up in the garage... |
 |
| Then we picked out the McDonald tree |
 |
| My cousin Megan was concerned that it was too skinny... |
 |
We had to cut that one down to size too...
Pretty (and unintentional) sunburst in the picture! |
 |
| Then my super clever family decided that the best way to get the trees out of the woods was to put them on a tarp and drag them with down with the car... so Peter devised a "trapezoid" with bungee cords to do the job |
 |
And of course, they took about 100 years to attach the trees to our cars.
Megan and Nate's tree (never pictured here) was the best, because it fit in the back of the car! |
