OK, I seriously think I have the GREATEST in-laws on the planet. Popsie (Matt's Dad) loves to take drives into the hills to build a fire and be in the outdoors. It's Awesome! Makes for good family memories. One of the Skousen traditions is to drive to Young the day after Thanksgiving and cut down Christmas trees. I have been able to participate for three years now and I love, love, love it. It's a good opportunity for Brik and his cousins to learn how to work in the outdoors. They were in charge of gathering the firewood. It was so fun to see these little bodies carrying huge branches. The harder they worked the more praise they got. It's a great experience for him. It took Matt and I forever to pick the tree we wanted. We finally saw one that had some potential and it ended up being perfect in our home. Yeah!
