Saturday, we went to cut down our Christmas tree with the Hunsakers. It turned out to be a beautiful, sunny, but freezing day! Vincent came with us since Jeff and Annette had a date to see Twlight...(Jeff gave in)
Bryndie was so cold! She was going to stay in the car but finally decided she wanted some say in what the tree looked like! Too skinny, too short, too fat, too tall, we finally found one for Grandma and Grandpa! Baylie was pretty cold too, but was a trooper tromping through the woods. Julie took a little longer to find the right one for her. She sent Cameron to get the car with the kids
, found the tree she wanted, sawed it down and dragged it to the road! We couldn't tell what Cameron thought! But he was a good sport and tied it on top! 
Here's proof that we were there although the picture didn't turn out very well. Once again we had a good time being together and missed those in our family that weren't here. We can't wait until next week when everyone starts arriving for Christmas!

Looks like a fun but cold time. Way to go Julie!!
Linda,
That is so neat that you are close enough to some of your grandchildren to be able to make memories with them, like this! I can tell how much the two of you enjoy being grandparents by reading your blog and by the way one of Julie's little ones kept saying, "Grandpa, Grandpa..." When President Holt gave his talk at Stake Conference. You also have adorable grandchildren!
What a fun tradition. I always think it looks fun to cut down your own tree although poor Bryndi looks pretty cold!
Too fun. wish there were christmas tree farms in TX. We are getting a cold front tonight. It will be 40 in the morning then warm up to 70 by the afternoon. BRRRRRRR!!!
Looks like you had a fun day! Nothing smells better than a fresh cut Christmas Tree!
Linda, I had a fun time looking at all your posts!! You guys are quite the troopers going out in the cold to find a tree, this is truly something a would like to do with my kids atleast once....but when the cold weather rolls around every year I change my mind.
Merry Christmas Holt Family.
There are days and traditions that really test us. The tree hunt in MN is one of them. Brrrr, it can sure be cold, making the sacrifice for that perfect tree even greater!
