ingredients for success

When it's a Christmas tree one is after,
there are certain tools required to make the end goal of owning said Christmas tree
a success


and sometimes those tools have helpers.


First, for guaranteed success, it is imperative to find a Nana.

(the crazier the better we might add)

Now, get Nana to find three super Heroes.

It is vitally important that Nana finds them, so if you have to excuse yourself for a while and go for supper, so be it.  Let Nana be the one to find them!








 ah here they are.

One






Two







Three.  Capes and all.





Now, remind said super Heroes of the temperature out of doors and ask them to reconsider their attire for the duration of the adventure.






Perfect.
















Now.  Find a truck.  Preferable one daddy isn't already driving up a hill.  But remember, pickers cannot be choosers.







Now there's a good idea!
Just call the daddy and
he will drive back down the hill
to come and find you.


Because he adores you.





Remind daddy of the task at hand and while you are out in the woods with a small hill anyways, find a suitable-north-of-the-prairies-but-not-much-north-judging-by-the-spaces-in-between-the-branches-but-wonderful-none-the-less-because-we-are-having-a-good-time-with-daddy-friends-and-super-heroes-Christmas tree-and-there-are-snacks-back-in-the-truck.


Cut tree down

 Let Benjamin cut tree down with his saw

Carry tree to truck

Carry Alexander to truck

Pick snake grass on the way

Take Alexanders snake grass because he is eating it

Give it back to Alexander because who cares, really!...it's frozen grass.









Get a picture of the family
with the truck.

I mean tree.

(daddy might mean truck)










Drive home.
Put tree in house.
Remove caterpillar nests.
Remove dead leaves.
Position barest spot against the wall.
Pray it won't fall over for the night.

Heroes remove outer layers
Dawn capes and run once again.

All in all a very successful da........wait, is it bath night?
