Cutting down our Christmas Tree

Carson and I went to the Schmid family ranch to cut down our very own Christmas tree.  We got to pick it out from a patch of overgrown trees.  At first we wondered up to the 5 foot trees, but then we were directed to a patch of 20 foot trees.  After a brief moment of confusion on my part, we were told we would cut down the tree and then cut the bottom off to the height we wanted (keeping the top!)  We found a couple trees that we thought were nice (we were getting a friend a tree as well) and Greg brought over the chainsaw.  As you can see from the photos, it was a beautiful setting on Wilson Mesa with gorgeous views of Wilson peak.  We'll post more photos of our place and new home for the tree.  Tis the season!
