The Wiltbank Family Christmas Tree

Among other things, one thing we've really been looking forward to this year is going out to the woods to chop down our own Christmas tree!

Although Mike and I had both been with our families to to get trees, it was still a pretty new experience for us. I kept laughing 'cause I kept thinking "Hey, how about that little guy",  Then Mike would go right up to it and it would really be about twenty feet taller than him with the branches practically dead.

Not wanting our first attempt to end in failure, we ended up finding one on our way home that was only about a mile from our house.
I wanted to take a picture of Mike actually chopping it down but instead I accidentally deleted some pictures off our camera I had really wanted...go me!  Here it is post-chopping.
Grant wasn't too interested and looked like this the whole time.
Grant tends to be somewhat more photogenic than us.
Grant was a little more interested once he saw the tree was going in the house.  He and Trist stepped in to help.
Here it is in all its glory!  Not too bad eh?
