For the last five years we have had a family tradition to go to the mountains in the freezing cold snowy conditions and cut down a Christmas tree (it is a tradition the Dean is Hell-Bent on keeping though I may not be too fond of it... I'm learning. I don't really have a problem with going to cut down a tree; more of a problem with the way they look. I have so many cute Christmas decorations and could have a really pretty tree if it had enough limbs to hold lights or the limbs were strong enough to even hold an ornament.) This year because it was freezing, our babies are babies, and they were sick, the kids and I stayed home. I'm pretty sure Dean was just trying to teach me a lesson so I'll never let him go alone again by getting the worst tree in history. He brought back a tree; it had no shape to it at all; it did however have an elk rub which apparently is super rare. anyway I digress... I trimmed it as well as i could, put on some lights and well, it is what it is.

Wow!! I think you did a good job with what he gave you!
You have the BEST stories about Dean!! I love it. And I think your tree has character :) Our one and only real tree was a cedar. I cried when I saw that it was really just a giant sage brush.
I meant fave....stupid auto correct. Now who's laughing:)
Love it! You did do really well with what you were given:)
I showed Austin this post and he couldn't find anything wrong with it....but I just want you to know I'm on your side.
ha ha ha ha....I love all your posts, Lindsey!! How funny! We have tried cutting down trees a couple times and never like the outcome (not quite as comical as yours though :) ) and go buy one instead. You did great with what you had to work with! Your family is adorable!!!! Love reading your posts!
