The annual Chandler Tree Farm Party

The tradition continues! The Chandlers hosted their annual tree party again this year and as usual, it was a great celebration! Big John drives us on a flatbed trailor with hay bales through the muddy tree farm to find the best trees out there. Nate was not feeling well on Saturday morning, so he and Dan had to stay home and miss the party. Chris and I went and picked out our perfect tree!
Run Greg, run! As we were heading down the hill away from their house, we saw Uncle Greg in the distance. He had to run to catch up to us. Good thing he was fast---Christopher was worried about him.
This is the one! Christopher was in charge of tying the tag to our tree so we could remember which one it was. Big John came over and chopped it down for us with his chain saw. Very exciting!

Chris driving the tractor. It was a BIG one.

A mama and her boy. It was such a beautiful, sunny day!

Uncle Mark was Mr. Mom, and brought Catie and Will all by himself since Claudine was in NYC for the weekend. I can't remember exactly what year this annual tradition started, but I would guess it was around 1997. So many fond memories, and I hope it never ends. Thanks, Chandler family!
