TIMBERRRR!


So, we've begun a new tradition which incorporates Mommy's love of this special season and Daddy's love of shooting things. We go with our friends, the Hedlunds, up to the mountains. We all gear up and trek through the forest to find the perfect Christmas tree. Then we shoot it down. Daddy and Scott wager on how many shots it will take to bring the tree down and get competitive about who's the better shot. Then Ocean hikes back to the van to get more ammo because they keep missing. Mommy and Lori point at them and laugh. When our trees are nearly blown into bark dust, we drag them back down the mountain and tie them to the van. Then we take our perfect tree home and discover that it's entirely too big to breech the door jam. It's loads of fun! Here's some visuals for you...
