We Got Trees!

I'm still catching up from weeks of being behind on blogging.  On October 10th, we got some BIG new trees in our yard.  John has been on an everlasting mission to create a "wooded" lot for our home.  This is one big step closer.  We had four 12-foot pine trees transplanted into our backyard, creating a little privacy and a lot of beauty.  We're already excited to put some Christmas lights up!

Before...

The truck with the skid steer.  Logan would have loved this!  Unfortunately, Logan was napping when the truck arrived.  We tried to keep him awake for the big delivery, but he was begging for naptime, so we couldn't hold off any longer.

The trees were driven around the house to the backyard.  We were a little concerned with the tracks that would be left in the yard, but by now they're already gone!

It was quite a neighborhood event!  I went in to check on Bennett and by the time I came out, all the neighbors were bundled up and watching!

A couple years ago, we planted some long natural grasses and the kids all love playing in them.  I think they were actually hiding from the big tractor on this day!

Removing the dirt and then transplanting the tree!

After....

Four new big, beautiful trees.
