Cutting Down the Tree


There's a first time for everything.

Connor usually goes with Daddy to the little tree farm down the road from our old house to pick and cut the annual Christmas tree. This year, with the way the calendar fell, Connor was out of town. He goes home with Grandma and Grandpa to the lake every year after Thanksgiving, and this year that was the Saturday we elected to get our tree.

The twins may have gone once before, back when they could be toted in infant carriers. But this was the first time we took them along to help. They were a little unimpressed after the first five minutes. Xander, in particular, kept trying to sneak into the tree farm house (he could see a television through the back windows, I think). Sawyer just kept trying to go back to the truck.

Just one more way the boys are getting out into the world, whether they really like it or not!

(And if you're wondering, yes, we waited until Connor came home on Sunday to actually do the decorations. He LOVES that part!)
