Christmas Tree Cutting

One of our new Thanksgiving traditions has been cutting down our Christmas tree on Thanksgiving weekend. Since we moved to Maryland, we have carried out this tradition with George and Stefanie. It hasn't always gone well...like the year we looked at four different Christmas tree lots including one in a sketchy backyard....or the year we decided to both take family pictures only to have the battery die on all three cameras we brought. This year however, though it was FREEZING when we cut down our trees, everything went off without a hitch.
