On Monday night, we went hunting for a tree to go in our basement family room.
It was snowing up the canyon and the kids were thrilled!
(We haven't really gotten any snow yet this year)
The bigger kids were so cute and helpful with Emma and Hannah.
It was a little slippery in some places,
so they held their hands and made sure they didn't fall down.

And while my hunk of a man was busy cutting down the tree...the kids were participating in this productive activity...
Hey, somebody has to teach Emma how to catch snowflakes on her tongue!!
Here we are decorating!
Emma loves decorating, undecorating...she's not picky, as long as she's involved!
(thanks to Mikaela for the shot of my backside!)
And here's the finished product!!!
I know what you're thinking...that it strongly resembles something you would see
on a Charlie Brown Christmas special.
But it started to get very cold up the canyon,
so we just cut down the best thing we could find!
We like it!
And here's a tip...if you get a tree with VERY sharp needles,
your 3 year old and your 18 month old are less likely to take the ornaments off!
Go figure.

What a fun family activity....we have always done the fake tree's and we love it...but you just made me want to go and cut our own tree down....You just went up the canyon and cut one down??? I didn't know you could do that? Very Fun!!
Fun!! It makes me think of elf when they talk about him "dropping a tree down" in central park :)
I love the family photo of your kids all in a circle on the floor- you have beautiful children!
I happen to love your tree because it is simple and pretty at the same time.
