This weekend, we braved the High Uinta's and went on our very first "Christmas Tree Hunt". We've never really had it in our budget to buy a real live Christmas Tree and because Papa A likes live ones better, we'd always wait til the last minute to put up our fake one (just in time for Santa to come). But not this year folks! This year, we went the Saturday after Thanksgiving and got a permit for $12.50 ( I waited in a very looong line too mind you, and on the way in there was a guy that yelled "Go get your trees somewhere else!!" I'm sure he was joking but you never know...). We stayed with our friends at their cabin and they took us around on their Rangers to go find our very own live Christmas Tree!! The kids had a blast!! But best of all, we have a tree that we all got to pick out...I might add that it came complete with a Bird's Nest that Hannah didn't want to leave behind...sorry lil homeless bird family (but seriously, it looked like the birds had abandoned it a while back to fly south for the winter ~ so it's all good right?).
P.S. The picture of us all together is of us standing in front of the tree before we cut it down.
