Tradition




This is by far one of our most favorite traditions. The day after Thanksgiving we go cut down our Christmas tree. The whole Franklin Family (aunts, uncles, cousins, grandma and grandpa goes too! Then we invade Golden Corral for breakfast! We have done this for about 15 years.
We come home and spend the rest of the weekend decorating! Now we can officially begin the Christmas season!!

Looks like lots of fun. We used to go cut down our tree, but it consisted of going to the mountains, 4 wheeling in the snow, and me almost having a heart attack. Once we had kids the tradition of me almost dying stopped and we got a fake tree. I do miss the smell of a real tree though...
