oh christmas tree...

our tradition the day after christmas is not to go shopping, but to go cut down our christmas tree. we really miss granger's tree farm in mexico, ny - it was the perfect tree-cutting tradition for not a lot of cash. we've found the experience in minnesota to be less than stellar and more expensive...but it is a tradition...

this year christina came down from the twin cities to have thanksgiving with us and to join in our tree tradition. it was fun to have her here!

and there it is...

christina with emma, kaylee and dallin

the whole family (not sure what kind of gang signs emma's throwing)

tanner wasn't quite sure about the whole thing...he spent most of the time tripping over stuff
