Christmas Countdown Day 4

Day 4 on our advent calendar was to go cut down a Christmas tree. We went early this morning in Grandpa's truck with grandma and grandpa and Elise up to the cabin. We met some other families up there that were getting their tree too. So we bundled everyone up and loaded up on the snowmobiles because there was to much snow to drive the truck. We had fun exploring around.  (Exercise group must be working because I'm tough enough to start the snowmobile by myself now!!! Wahoo! Glad it's doing something good!)  Joel had fun riding on "Grandpa's favorite snowmobile" with him and Conner had a good ride with his dad!

Mike, Joel, and I drove around on the snowmobile to locate the perfect tree while Conner stayed with grandma and grandpa til we found it. We found a beautiful Island Park tree and decided that was the one. We even brought along a tape measure to make sure (last years was slightly large! This one should fit in the living room this time!)

 

So after we found the perfect tree, Mike and Joel cut down the tree. Joel was so excited to help- it was so cute!

After we loaded up the tree in the trailer we drove back to the cabin where Conner fell asleep on Mike's lap. It must be the lullaby of the snowmobile engine ; )!

We can't wait until tomorrow when we get to decorate it!
