Christmas Tree Cutting Fun - Super Sized

It's hard to tell in this picture due to all the other trees around, but here's a picture of our Gigantor Christmas tree. I think it might be on the upwards of 20 feet!!!!
Mike and Jenny's tree seemed really big until Dave brought "The Grizwald Family Tree" down off the mountain. Dave is a freak of nature, that tree weighed a ton and he just heaved it over his shoulder like it was nothing. This picture busts me up.
It was lots of fun having Jenny and Mike with us this year. Sad we didn't hook up with our friends the Fischers, we've gone with them for years, but this year we got our locations mixed up. Can't wait to see what "Fish" drug off the mountain.


Did a little bit of sledding before we went and cut trees. Not very much snow, just enough to make a few runs down the hill. Hope we get some more snow soon!!


Jessy and Kassy both have head colds, but that didn't stop them from getting a run or to in.
All in all it was a super fun adventure, one we have been doing for 19 years now. I think we have only missed once, maybe twice. It's a fun family tradition, one I hope we can carry on for years to come. Now the real fun begins, Dave brought the tree in tonight. It touched the ceiling, so he cut 2 or so feet off. Can't wait to put the lights on - NOT! Feel free to come over and help!
Happy Last Day of November!

  1. Cute pictures! That is one massive tree! But it will be so beautiful in your house with the vaulted ceilings! I still remember one year when Cody was over and asked why our tree was so tiny! LOL! Too funny! And I would also agree that Dave is a freak of nature! He can lift/move/haul anything!

  2. Poor tree, lived a good long life 'til Dave had to chop it down :o)
    Looks like the kids had a blast! Glad you got to go hang with Jenny and Mike, that is always a good time. Sorry you couldn't connect with the Fischers...
