Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Picking the perfect Christmas tree is such an important job! Apparently, my family has never thought that there were any suitable Christmas trees in Georgia, so we have to drive to Franklin, North Carolina every year to cut down our tree!!!! We have made so many memories up at Mincy Tree Farm! For the past 15+ years we have made that drive to find the perfect "Griswald Family Christmas Tree." This year was no different! Here are lots of pictures from our mountain adventure today!!!!


The 2008 "Dorminy Family Christmas Tree!"



Matt loves getting down and dirty when cutting our tree down. What a good husband!! We also spotted some bear tracks along the trails!













Kylie wanted to hug her new tree to welcome it to her family. Once Kylie did it, Karson had to do it too! "My turn, Kylie it's my turn!!"









Check out these cuties!



























Fun and silly family pictures!


On the way home from Franklin, we stopped by Aunt Martha and Uncle Ray's new house on Lake Burton. We arrived just in time to help them move some furniture in. The house is absolutely beautiful and has the MOST amazing view!! The only problem is that that stairwell going to the bottom floors twists and turns therefore you cannot move the big furniture down the stairs. Uncle Ray can solve any problem though!!! All of the furniture had to be hoisted over the top floor deck and lowered down to the deck below! Creative (and a little scary)!!



The girls and kids stayed warm by the fire while the men did all the heavy lifting!

Those pictures are great Kim! The ones of the guys lowering the furniture over the rail were awesome! It was definately a "little" scary!!

Awww, Christmas trees. I've been begging my hubby to let us start decorating but he's pretty die hard 'wait until after Thanksgiving'. I'll just enjoy everyone's pics for now =)
