Cutting down the Christmas Tree with Billy
Every year we have cut down a real tree from the backside of the farm to put up for Christmas.

Billy really enjoyed it this year! Andy and I also started a tradition when we first got married of racing to the top of the Hill after we find our tree. I can honestly say the first couple of years we did this we were really sprinting but we are getting slower and slower. I don't think I have a "sprint" in me anymore. We were really slow this year since I had just given birth and Andy carried Billy halfway up the hill. I think we were just glad to make it to the top!
