“Our lives would be so boring,” Gabe said, “if our parents weren’t so immature.
Cutting the Christmas tree is just an excuse– really, it’s all about the snowball fight.
How ’bout this one?
tipping dead aspens provided another distraction
the first cut– this one took a LOT of sawing
After our third time through the puddles, we decided to take photos.
Yep, that’s how we decorate the top.
Xander the engineer sets up my mom’s beloved Christmas village. You should see all the outlets snaking behind the table.
We always hang the steering wheel from Ben’s beloved red firetruck on the tree.

Beautiful, my friend. We cut ours down today. We waited for a snowstorm and got so lucky. xo

Love.
The Christmas tree is always awesome, but this quote takes the cake on this post, I think:
“Our lives would be so boring if our parents weren’t so immature.”
I think that is what I love most about you guys. You know how to have fun. You also know what matters and care deeply about that, but your family knows how to have fun and I love it.
Love you!

Oh Christmas tree is right! Need to come and see this in person. How does tomorrow sound?

I think my favorite pictures are the SUV going through the puddles! Also, I really enjoyed your post on opinions. Thank you for sharing.
Cath
My girls have already been asking when they get to see Miss Michelle’s tree. We’re due for a visit. And maybe this post will convince Doug it’s worth getting a permit and doing it ourself! 😉 That last photo is magazine worthy – okay all your photos are – but especially that last one. xoxo
Lisa
As always, your photos are fabulous…but it’s the joy that oozes from each and every photograph that makes them completely priceless. What a wonderful tradition.

I adore adore adore your tree posts every year. And I agree with Cath, that last picture is fantastic.
