Christmas Tree Cutting Expedition

This weekend we drove out to the mountains and chopped down our very own Christmas Tree! It was definitely a first for all of us. We had such a great time. Our tree is very cute and has such character! The part I liked best is that we got to pick it!! Here is a tip though for those who have never done this and think they might want to - the trees look smaller in the wild! We thought ours was going to be tiny in our house, but. . . it is pretty full. Someone had told us to make sure that SB stood next to it and make sure it wasn't going to be too tall! We did manage not to get a tree that was too tall.There was snow still in the mountains too - so the kids made snowballs! We had a great time. We celebrated C's birthday also with a trip to Frontier for breakfast.
