An Old Fashioned Christmas Tree Cutting

Dadda has had the most fun at their new hunting property in Louise, aka, "Fair's Recreational Property." He had the cool idea for us all to ride out there and cut down our very own Christmas trees. At one point, Uncle Paul asked where the line is between an old fashioned Christmas and a Redneck Christmas? Will wondered if Aunt Fair thought we had long since crossed it. But we had a blast anyway despite the drizzle and mud. I think the kids loved it because of the mud.

The trees look pretty normal sized out in the open, but when we measured them, the biggest was 12 feet tall. Ours is a good 10, it's still in the carport. I will have to take a picture of it tomorrow before we trim it up. Will has not stopped quoting, "That thing wouldn't fit in our yard!" "It's not going in our yard, it's going in our living room." Do you know the quote?





Will and Paul cutting down one of our trees. Notice how much taller the tree is than Paul.



Laurie would not stop touching it, even for a photo opp.

That is one big tree!

Even Josie got in on our fun.
