We participated in a renewed Pettke tradition this past weekend...the Christmas tree hunt. This time we were able to bring the newest Pettke member along. Mike, Jill, Brandon, Luke and I headed out to the piney woods of East Texas to search for that perfect tree. With the little one along, we were faced with a time dilemna...find a tree quickly or listen to Luke complain about an empty stomach. Mother Nature shown down upon us that day as we selected one of the first trees we found, a VERY tall Virginia pine with a nice form. 
Since this tree will stand proud in our home, Brandon did the honors of cutting the tree down while the rest of us stood around and told him how to do it (in true Pettke fashion). Luke was too enamored with an animal cracker to care what Daddy was doing.
Well, the tree lost its battle with the saw and was cleaned, wrapped and secured to the roof of the Tahoe for a long trip home. After surprisingly little arguing between Mike and Brandon the tree stood proud in its new home, our game room. Thank you, oh beautiful tree, for gracing our home!
