O Christmas Tree

Every Day-After-Thanksgiving the Atkin-side of the family all gather and head out to the mountains to chop down a Christmas tree. You never know what you're going to find! Sometimes you end up with a Charlie Brown Tree, sometimes one MUCH bigger than you realize, sometimes skinny, sometimes fat... This year our Christmas tree was a full tree and just about perfect. And boy does it make our house smell good! Above is Ben & Andie hiking around in the cold, fresh, mountain air.


Above: Benson in pursuit of the perfect tree.
While Waiting for Everyone else to pick out their perfect Tree, Benson was waiting by the fire pit that we had built, eating some snacks that Grandma had provided.
"Can I have some Hot Cocoa?" Benson asked his Aunt Amanda.
"Okay, I'll just going to have to put some water on the fire ."
"What?!" cried Benson.
Amanda repeated herself.
"WHAT?!" Benson cried again.
"What?" Asked Amanda confused.
"The fire will go out if you put water on it!" He exclaimed!
Duh Amanda! Everyone knows that!
That Benson, you can't pull the wool over his eyes!
