Happy Tree Hunting from Apple Hill in Placerville

James smiling pretty for me ... for once!

On the choo choo train.

Loading up in the van to go pick out our Christmas tree.

We all had so much fun picking out and cutting down our Christmas tree. The kids ran through the maze of trees and played hide-and-seek. They saw a dog and Tristan even got to help fall our tree! After we headed down the hill with our new Christmas tree, the older boys helped to push it through the netting for the ride home. What big, helpful boys they are becoming!

...and finally the grand finale! This is what the boys were waiting so patiently for.
