so fun! We cut down our own tree last year but it was a SUPER cold day and the heater in the pick up was out and my 1 1/2 year old's mitten fell off and he got snow on his hand and freaked and we declared that the "rite of passage" age in our house was going to be 5 years old and until then it was a mom and dad date/outing. :) This year with the timing/holiday travel we're not going to get to cut down our own. :( Oh well, hopefully next year!
