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.

picturing you all out on the side of the road brings a smile to my face...I know that sounds devilish of me, but really it's just that I can totally see ethan and addie lovin' it!

and then being completely unimpressed with the tree.
