christmas tree cutting

our favorite little boys lined up across the back seat.  

they entertained eachother like champs back there.

this is one of our absolute favorite traditions.  branden pulled an all nighter for work the night before just so he could be sure we could go.  doesn't hurt that hugo is at a stage where he carries his little wooden saw everywhere.  won't put it down.  

some of our favorite little ones and hugo's best buddies.  how adorable are they?

little boys being little boys.

watching our tree be wrapped up so it's ready to be put on top of the van (we have rented a 12 passenger van every year and piled 3 trees on top of it and hauled all the families up.  we were a sight i'm sure!)

passed out on the way home.  late night.  and branden i'm sure was dying of exhaustion at this point. he's a trooper.
