Our Annual Tree Cutting

Ok, so every year, we go to a local tree farm and cut down our Christmas Tree. This year was no different. Except for the fact that we brought Scrooge along, aka Randy! Chels and I laughed our butts off. At the tree farm they have teenage boys ride around in these motorized carts. They ask if you need help cutting your tree or bringing it back to where you pay for it. Well, first of all, the "noise of the carts" was driving Randy nuts. I mean, we were in a forest people! It was taking away from the "you are in a forest cutting down your own tree" feeling. So, one kid comes over asked if we need help. Randy says "No, we'd like to do it ourselves". Next, another one drives over in his noisy cart and asked us again. Randy thinks it's the same kid again and yells "WE GOT IT!!" He was Scrooge from that moment on! That kid drove off so fast probably calling Randy every name in the book. When I told Randy that was a different kid, he felt a little bad, but not much! Anyway, the rest of the day, we had a blast calling him Scrooge every chance we got. It was a fun day, really it was.

Ok, here's how it goes, everybody has to take a turn cutting it down. Chelsea is up first.

Next up, Sam. She doesn't make too much progress. Then Randy breaks out in a sweat doing the rest of it. Chels is enjoying herself as she does every year. Chelsea's other job is to hold tree while it's falling. I'm glad my only job is taking the pictures! She looks like she's in pain!
Then, we all drag it up to the entrance. I forgot I do have to help with this too. I'm laughing in the picture because I can see some "helpers" running up to us to see if we need help dragging it!!! If they only knew what was coming!!! HAHAHAHA!! Here is Sam with the Santa. I gave Santa the name and number to the nearest dentist. He had a couple teeth missing right in front! Working on the tree Ok, everybody sing it with me now..."I like big butts and I can not lie". Sheesh, Kim, get to the gym girl!!! The girls and I have our favorite Christmas cd we play while we're decorating. It takes a long time to decorate since we have to stop for singing and dancing quite often. DONE!
