Oh Christmas Tree

We, unlike most of the United States have waited until December to start celebrating Christmas. Today we decided that it would be ok to get our tree. We drove to a little tree farm not that far from our home. When we got there, we were reminded that this is not the west and we are in Mississippi. Not prime christmas tree country. There were about 50 little trees that cost about double what they were worth. It was a lot of fun though. The kids loved looking at all the trees and fire ants around the trees. Shade is a fire ant magnet, he can trip into one anytime. Jax has an eye for calling them out and Shade will come running to see it and trip right on it. We love our boys. Anyway, back to the tree, we found a great tree and cut it down and they wrapped it up and tied it on our car for us. The past few years we have gone in the great Black Hills of South Dakota to find our tree, but this was just about as fun. It was cold, but a lot less cold and not as much wind as South Dakota, and no snow. Grandpa and Grandma Stewart are here for a week and they got to come with us. It was a great day. I will post pictures of the decorated tree later. Trying to decide if this was the one. It was not.
It took 3 strong boys to cut down this monster

What a scary picture. Jax and Shade with saws!!!
