Tis the season for tow trucks

Saturday we ventured to the Brule National Forest to cut down our Christmas tree, but before we could find that perfect Charlie Brown, Scott felt the need to make a pit stop in the ditch. After several attempts to pull us out of the ditch by a local hunter, we opted for the tow truck rescue. What could we do but have snow races and throw our kids in the snow banks while we waited? About 30 minutes later we were rescued...and let me tell you Ethan was way more excited about the tow truck than the actual tree. By the time we found our tree, Ethan and Addison were both snoring logs in the back seat, so Scott cut the tree down, slapped in on the jeep and away we went.

Ethan thought this branch was pretty lonely

Turkey is overrated

Thanksgiving was spent with no travels, no overeating and no leftovers. This year we traded in the almighty bird for pizza instead. I have to say the preparation and clean up was a breeze. The kids thoroughly enjoyed our "Thanksgiving pizza party" topped with raspberry pie for dessert...(for those of you wondering, I would not recommend the pie). We have lots to be thankful for, that's for sure!
