Tree

I am not sure I can remember a year that we have actually picked out our Christmas tree in the daylight. Not sure why we have always thought it was a good idea to go in the dark but I must say we have always picked great trees. Ben's thought on picking out a tree was to "step away from the trees and look up and the one that was the tallest was the one for him". He stated that we could just cut a hole in the ceiling if it didn't fit in the house. As we were getting out of the car Jake stalled and started putting his bike helmet on. He said he needed his helmet because "he needed to wear it in case a tree fell on him"

Anyway, we found the perfect tree and were trying to not drag out the ordeal. Our van doesn't have a roof rack on it and Josh was discussing with the Christmas tree workers what they would do when all of a sudden I heard Josh say, I think it will fit in the car. "boys do you care if you have a tree on top of you" the boys with wide eyes thought it would be awesome and so, this is what we ended up with.
