Cutting Down our Tree

Every year we have made it a tradition to go to a tree farm and cut down our Christmas tree. This year we went to the Cackler Tree Farm in Delaware County. Even though it was very cold and snowing, it seemed fitting. I have cut down many trees for Christmas, but never when it is snowing. It was almost magical. We brought the dogs this year, which was fun to have the whole "family" there. Here is the funny part...because it was snowing and people don't know how to drive, it took us over an hour to get there. It should have taken about 40 min. Because it was so cold and windy we made our plan before we even got out of the truck. I told Nate I wanted a Blue Spruce. So, we got out, got a map of where the blue spruces were, got our sled and saw and headed out. We found the "perfect" tree in a matter of 5 min. 2 more minutes for a picture of me and the dogs, another 2 min for Nate to cut it down, and waa laa, we were done.
So, 1.25 hours of driving for a 10 min event. It was a great afternoon though and we always love driving up in the country. If anyone is interested, we will be going there again next year. Anyone who would like to join is more then welcome.
