Your First Christmas Tree

I really want to create some Christmas family traditions for us. One of the ones  I have envisioned (probably thanks to Christmas Vacation which is a movie you will one day watch) is to go out into the woods and to pick out our very own Christmas tree. I figured why not start now, so we did! We packed you up into the car with some snacks and set out with Matt and Tina up past Idaho City to go get us a tree. It was two days after Thanksgiving and it hadn’t snowed so it was the perfect time to go because we were able to go up on a usually closed road to pick one out. The trip was a success, and I am ready to do it again next year! You were a trooper and I bet next year will be all the more fun since you will be able to walk along side with us. I was also pretty happy with how our tree turned out. It was so tall that we had to cut the top of it off since it was bent at the top from the ceiling. And we have a TALL ceiling. Sure it is no Christmas lot tree, but you can’t expect that when you go pick one out of the forest and not from a tree farm!

Bailey dog came along with us!


We found this awesome one that was split by being frozen or by lightning
