Oh Christmas Tree...

We took our hopefully yearly trip to go pick out our Christmas tree this weekend. In preparation for Grand Jean in January (we are going on a 7 mi snowshoeing trip with you and the Bailly's and Fuller's) we decided to go with the Bailly's and Fuller's in order to test out the bike seat we are going to pull you and Sean in. So, it was quite a troop going up to Idaho City. The more the merrier though!

We actually got our first huge snow fall on Saturday and it was still snowing when we woke up to get ready. So when we got to John and Loren's we bundled you up and let you really experience snow for the first time. You LOVED it. You threw it in the air, you ate it, you fell down in it and giggled. It was the best.

After we were all packed up at the Bailly's we headed out to get our tree. When we got up to the area we decided to look at I took you sledding down the small incline of the road. You thought that was great and we even set Sean on you so you could go together. You didn't like that as much though, as you said 'off' while he was laying on you. Needless to say all of the parents got a kick out of it. You guys did awesome in the bike carrier and even fell asleep on the way back in from getting the tree. Your Dad went all the way up the side of the mountain to pick us out a tree this year and it is beautiful. After our mountain shenanigans we stopped for lunch in Idaho City and even got some huckleberry cheesecake to go. You were one tired boy after the events of the day but somehow didn't sleep on the way back to Boise.

Due to the snow coming this was a very long trip - 7 hours to be exact just to get a tree. It was fabulous though filled with wonderful company.
