Christmas Tree 2010

This morning we headed to Megargell's Tree Farm to get our Christmas tree.  I really hope that I didn't pick one that is too wide this year!  We will have to see tonight!
 Our favorite Tree Farm!  We highly recommend!
 Getting ready to head out.  Annalise just figured out that she would be in the backpack.  At times she doesn't like sitting in it anymore, as you can see!  She doesn't pitch a fit about it but she does let you know that it is not her preferred mode of transportation at the moment.  Most of the time anymore she says "I walk with myself".
 As you can see she got over in about 1 second
 "Let's go!"
 Heading out
 Anna and I
 Stan leading the way
 How good are your eyes?  There is a hunter in an orange vest in this picture.  Actually, when we started out there were a few deer up at the top of this ridge.  Then there was about 6 or more gunshots and there were no more deer on the ridge that we could see.  I was kinda taken aback and Stan was like "Oh, don't worry, they just probably ran away".  Judging by this hunter walking to the top who followed by at least 2 other hunters after him, I don't think they ran away.  It made me sad =(.
 This is the one!
 Anna and I, saw in hand........

 Just kidding!  Stan cut it down!
 For some reason Anna cried a little when we cut it down.  After if fell she said "Oh no!  It fell over!  Daddy fick (fix) it!  Stand it back up Daddy!" I had to explain to her that we were taking it home and Daddy would "fick" it there.
 Dragging it all the way back to the barn.  He still refuses a tree cart!
 He ended up carrying it about 1/4 of the way back because of the mud.
Getting the tree shaken and wrapped up.  Annalise was not a fan of these loud machines.  She was interested in them and wanted to see them but she wanted to be held while they were running and said they were too loud.
