Once again we enjoyed our family tradition of going to chop the perfect tree. Over the years our tree chopping party has expanded and contracted. What used to take all day we now can knock out in a few hours, but it is still fun. This year Peter and Roque joined Fay and Vance and Calvin and I. With the exception of Roque, we are all veterans of the hunt and our trees were chopped and loaded in record time. It was a beautiful time to be in the forest. Just enough snow to add a touch of winter to the scene.
There was not much competition for who got the last chop. Calvin felled the tree this year.
The Gabbarts are chopped and loaded.
Peter and Roque really are more interesting than the rest of us, so they got more pictures.
Here they are with their first family Christmas tree.
And kisses for a job well done
And the group picture for 2013
We just keep getting better every year!
It was fun! Our tree is doing just fine too.
