Bringing the tree down the steep slope.

It was pretty tall! We cut off about 2 feet after we got home because it was too high (and our ceilings are vaulted and pretty high). I think it is over our 10 ft. permit limit.

Deona was kind and thoughtful enough to bring cocoa for the kids to have afterward. These kids were SO good! It was really cold out there but they did not complain at all. Cutting down our own Christmas tree was a fun time with friends and may be the start of a new tradition. Now we have it home and set up in the stand but not yet decorated. I will add some more pictures when that gets done.
