The 1st Annual Christmas Tree Hunt

Last year, we didn't have a home of our own, so we helped Baba and Dave hunt for the-tree-that-ate-the-living-room.  This year, there was no other way to celebrate our first Christmas in our new home, than by finding the-tree-that-fit-the-living-room! Thanks to the late Thanksgiving, we were able to drag both sets of grandparents with us up to Apple Hill to find "The Perfect Tree."

I'm sure Gma Cherie misses home around Thanksgiving, but I'm also pretty sure she was more than happy to be wearing  her flip flops while Christmas tree hunting! 
On a mission!
That's the one!
How many men does it take to carry a Christmas tree? (3 1/2 when it's this big!)
Bringing up the rear (that's Gpa Wayne and Arjen up ahead of Baba and Gus, helping Andrew and Gpa Dave carry our tree!)
Arjen found a tree more his size
For those who asked how we got the tree home...
Okay, so the boys needed a little help getting the tree up there
What's a trip to Apple Hill without a carmel apple?!?  This was Gus's first, since he was too young last year.
Getting a little help from Baba
Arjen, on the other hand, is an old pro with the caramel apple!


The Moment(s) of Truth:




Tada!
