The Hunt

Last year after dragging Peter through knee deep snow, crying and screaming, we decided that a fake tree might not be such a bad idea! I still liked the tradition of hunting for the tree, so we compromised! Root of any good marriage, right? We bought a fake tree last year after Christmas from someone that was moving and a killer of a deal! This year we put it together, (a feat in itself), and then got the boys in thier snow gear (another feat!). Anthony then went and hid the tree out in the yard and we commenced on our hunt! The boys had a lot of fun walking around looking for it. This is us in front of our tree. By then Andrew and Peter were crying because they were cold and as we hauled the tree in, we snapped off one of the legs on the base! So it was just like the real thing! Ne ways... we had a great time and plan to make this one of our family traditions!
