Now, you really do have some great photos here ... I love the ones of DS watching her father cut the tree ... hmmmm, we can really tell what is on her mind! ;-)
Someday they will thank us for it! Love you guys!
Amy's right about that photo....it definately tells a story!!!!
But I'm sure that they'll look back on this tradition with great pleasure in future years.
I agree; wonderful photos. Photos from tree cutting are some of my favorites from every Christmas. The last two years we've been on our own to get a tree and we bought a ready-cut tree. Tracy says we're back to the woods next year.
They will. I'm sure they will.
These stressful years will pass and the happy memories will come back again I promise. In fact some of the traditions that were 'boring' 10 years ago are now essential things to look forward to in my daughter's eyes!
Must be great to go to actually choose your tree while it is still in the ground. Don't think we have anything like that around here. And I notice Gypsy is getting her lovely fluffiness back - such a cute dog!
I agree totally with Deb...when the teenagers grow out of being teenagers, they will be thankful for the memories and the traditions started!

haha i can TOTALLY see Clara's "can we go yet" face!! We used to have a tradition of going with my cousins up to pollak pines to get our tree.. started it when i was two and we did it for almost 40 years ... have not gone the last few years and it makes me very sad ... i'm sure your kids will go with you as long as you go with them :)

They will, the teen years are hard, but I'm when they look back they will describe it as being great fun.
It's like you said in your previous post - they don't always appreciate it at the time, but they WILL appreciate it and look back fondly xx
Teenagers! They will come around. Have a very Merry Christmas.
Love the photo of Clara watching her dad cut the tree
I love that you've captured the whole story. Yes, teenagers don't stay teenagers but for 10 years or less. They'll be adults before you know it and loving those traditions they grew up with.
They will have fond memories with pictures for many years to come. That swing looks like a lot of fun.
PS Just popping back to let you know that I received my beautiful card today, many thanks :)
so fun! i know some friends that did the cut down idea! I really want to do that sometime!!
Hmmm - it's a shame that a much loved pastime suddenly becomes a bore for teens (though sometimes it's just timing and hormones and not really true boredom at all) - they'll forget the blips the same as we forget the pain of childbirth!
Have a great holiday Rinda :o)
