Christmas Tree Hunt

So we are still waiting for Baby Sister to show up. I think our children must be brilliant because they know that in Mommy's tummy is way better than popping out into the real world. But in this case Baby must not realize that it is Christmas time which is a time worth showing up for. Rachel on the other hand was very excited about Christmas this year because "My birthday comes after Christmas!" While mommy and baby took a nap this afternoon Rachel and Kaya and I went to cut a tree.

I figured since I was in no rush I would let Rachel wander the acres and acres and pick her perfect tree, provided its about a 6' tall Noble Fir. She was hard to please and spent most of the time hopping on every tree stump in her path, while I walked Kaya with a make shift leash I fashioned with some tie downs I had in my truck (I am not known for my preparedness) in one hand and a saw in the other. Finally she found it! On the opposite side of the farm from my truck!! Perfect!!! I survived and she was kind enough to be interviewed about the adventure so that I could share it with you.
