It's our tradition to meet up with uncles, aunts and cousins for the great tree hunt. One thing about a tree farm two weeks before Christmas, you never quite end up with a perfect tree. And it gets cold. But we enjoy the wagon ride, the hike, the snowball fights, the companionship and that nifty machine that shakes the tree is a highlight for any small child. :)
