We do the whole cut your own tree thing up near Fraser on the first or second Saturday of Dec. It's a very important part of the Christmas season for us. When the girls were little we often had a newborn foster child along and if it wasn't too cold I'd be carrying an infant snuggled in the front pack while we tromped through the snow! For the last four years we've had at least one baby grandson who stays home with his Tia (Aunt). The couple that stays home fixes a big pot of chili and cornbread so we come home to a nice hot dinner. The little grandsons get a good workout in the snow that day so everyone heads home and puts their tree up the next day.
