Welcome to our crazy life....

When I grew up I had the wonderful benefit of living a bike ride away from both sets of grandparents. Not so lucky are our kids. Even for the actual ones that live in Atlanta, it's still a about an hours drive away! So, this blog will have to serve as the next best thing to riding our bikes to see the grandparents. Enjoy watching our kids learn and grow one day at a time...

The Annual Gant Family Christmas tree hunt

Every year we journey way down south to cut down our Christmas tree. David's Family has been going to Worthington's tree farm for years....and now we do too. Last Saturday we took the annual hour long drive to get there and frolic among the many fields of Christmas trees in hopes of finding the best one.
Caleb found this lovely tree twig and thought it would make a perfect addition to our living room...a little Charlie Brownish I think.
Elizabeth and I got lost trying to remember which one we thought was the best. We'd look at one and think it's grand then look left and find another one, then right, then up the hill and where was the first one we liked again? ...on and on it went...glorious madness!
Madie enjoyed the view from her Cousin Cody's arms,
And Mawaw's too. We tried to let her walk but there were too many stumps for her to fall on.
We have to measure any tree we intend on purchasing now. Last year we got a fabulous deal on a 14 ft tree, $25. Couldn't pass up a deal like that? Sadly, 5 of the feet had to be cut off, we found out we didn't have as high of ceilings as we thought we did.
Caleb wanted to use the saw so bad....
Instead, they got to help haul it to the car!
