Our Annual Tree Cutting!

Yesterday we packed up the cars and headed up to Boone, North Carolina to get our Christmas tree! We enjoy the experience of traveling up there and going to large tree farms and searching for the "perfect" tree. This year was even more exciting because it was Anna's first time going and it was snowing!!!!! The weather was beautiful. It was cold (around 26 degrees) but it wasn't windy so it was tolerable.
While we were picking out our tree the guys had snowball fights. :) Anna didn't quite know what to think about all the snow. She just looked around trying to figure out what was going on. After we took tons of pictures we headed to the Daniel Boone Inn for dinner. A great time was had by all!

Here are the pics!
Getting ready to leave!

Look at all those trees!


She decided being bundled wasn't so bad after all!

Can't miss Matt in that YELLOW hat! Looks like you had a great time. Anna must really like Charlie Brown Christmas - she looks totally into it! Smart girl!
