Today we headed to the tree farm in the Santa Cruz mountains to cut down our Christmas tree! This is our family tradition now, and it is always so much fun...not to mention the views are just gorgeous. It turned out to be a very sunny day, so it was perfect.
As soon as G woke up from his AM nap, Grandma and Grandpa came over, and Gavin was thrilled to see them. His entire face lights up when he sees them come to the front porch:) We packed up some food, and headed out!
As soon as we got there, Gavin was off exploring. Picking up sticks, and carrying them around. Then he helped pick the perfect tree and cut it down. He REALLY wanted to use the saw himself, but we thought Daddy should do that! After we got the tree to the truck, Gavin sat in the bed of the truck, and "helped" secure the tree.
After he screamed his head off the entire way home (a car ride would not be the same without a meltdown one way or the other!) he was happy after he had some lunch AND pumpkin pie:) Oh what a fun day....I love our little family tradition!
So much fun! We have the same tradition and are going on Tuesday for our tree!
