Annual cutting down the Christmas Tree

This year we almost did not make it to Fraiser. We had all planned to go the Saturday after Thanksgiving and that morning Marc was checking weather conditions and it just did not seem like it would be fun so we postponed it until the next weekend. Well that whole week we hemmed and hawed whether we should waste another day and Friday night we decided it was not wasting but a fun family trip. It was not terribly cold and the kids sure had a great time!

Funny though Marc's parents were in a rush to continue driving on to Glenwood springs? to pick up a car for Kerrie. Hers was in an accident and the body was pretty bad this guy had her exact car with a good body bad inside so Dad was going to switch everything out for her. (I hope I did not butcher the story)! And Scott and Jane were in a rush to go to some festival in Georgetown so they were in a rush as well. Anyway we had just finally gotten our kids and ourselves bundled up and sent with the dads to start looking (Kate was famished so Wendy and I were hanging back feeding her) when here comes Dad with his tree already! That was it he threw it in the back of the truck and away they went! I just got a chuckle out of how fast he was!

Sweet baby Caroline! She was not going to get cold!
Here is our tree, do not be fooled there is a huge tree behind it making it look much fuller than it is. I could not get a good angle!

Sweet husband's bum and the handsome boys helping him saw and push it down.

We needed Chris's help- he joked right at 6 in huh Marc? ( that is the biggest around you can chop down and it was pretty close but it was the tree I liked so anything for his sweetie right)?

Best of buds! So glad we live close to family!

Beautiful Hannah!

Mischievous Kate!

All of us with our tree! Poor Max he legs were huge snowballs!


On our way down Marc and Dylan were determined to go sledding so we pulled off the highway where all the back country skiers ski and across the highway they went to go sledding! I was sitting on my window taking pictures- they were so far away so thank you Dad for my awesome lens it sure comes in handy when I am lazy and cold!







Poor Dylan just could not stay on!

Kate's obsession with blowing her nose- I finally had to hide the tissues!
