cutting our tree
Our tree cutting day finally arrived and, yes, we brought along our frisbee. In case you did not know, Daniel loves throwing a frisbee around. As usual, it has been a great toy to have.
Before we got started hunting for our perfect tree we had to stop and ride the tractors.
We found our perfect tree. Really, there were so many trees to choose from, it was hard to go wrong. This land was near Scott's Valley. It is a very pretty part in the Santa Cruz mountains.
Olivia, Chloe, Sam and Daniel all got a turn sawing the tree.
Timber!!!!
When Olivia stumbled upon this tree she was cracking up. She thought this was the most hilarious tree she had ever seen. This was such an interesting moment for me as her mom. She is growing up and shows her own personality. I love her very much.
Then we have Lula. This was funny, too. We were trying to take this nice family picture by our tree. As soon as she got on Daniel's shoulders, she began to claw at his face. This picture captures the moment perfectly!
We began our trek back to our cars. Flash really wanted a cart to pull his tree on; kids are funny sometimes.
After the morning's adventures, we had hot cocoa, bagels, cheese, and cuties. Everyone had a great time! I am grateful my sister and her family live near us so that we can have fun traditions like this with their family.
