Today was our 4th Annual Christmas Tree Chopping Extravaganza. Everyone should participate in an Annual Christmas Tree Chopping Extravaganza. It's awesome. The day begins with friends coming over for coffee and homemade cinnamon buns with rum-cream cheese icing. Then everyone piles in cars and drives to Bryan's Christmas Tree Farm out in the PA countryside somewhere. Ladies in one car, fellas in another. Mike may or may not forget his boots and have to wear plastic bags over his crocs. First car to make it without getting lost wins. Once there you hop on a wooden wagon pulled by a huge tractor and ride up the hill to pick your tree. It's always freezing. It's always ridiculously muddy. After finding the perfect tree, chopping it, and riding back down the hill in the tractor you buy 15 chili dogs for your party of 6. 3 for the guys, 2 for the girls. YUM. With full stomachs and freezing fingers and toes you pile back in the cars and head home. Today Sheryl brought her fantastic camera and fantastic camera skills which resulted in the following fantastic shots of our day. Enjoy.
Yay for Christmas trees. Yay for traditions.
