This is the third year we've gone to the mountains to cut our Christmas Tree the day after Thanksgiving. This year was much more relaxed than last year's close call. We got an earlier start, had food & water with us, a new set of chains, and even an extra chain, (the sole survivor of last year's trip.) It had snowed the night before and was so beautiful! I think this was the highlight of Mike & Amber's visit -- for me anyway. (Dallin's favorite was playing basketball with Uncle Mikey.) We had so much fun in this winter wonderland. All the trees looks so beautiful frosted in the freshly fallen snow. Mikey gets credit for finding the one we ended up taking home.

Such a fun day!

How fun! I love all those photos! Scrapbook material all the way. We went and chopped down a tree our second Christmas and haven't done it since. I guess you could say that I am a wuss when it comes to hiking through the snow!
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow! What a fun adventure. We LOVED it! It is now our tradition to tag along on your Christmas Tree cutting tradition - thanks for the good times!
