O Christmas Tree O Christmas Tree

I remember for years my family would get a REAL Christmas tree. The smell of pine would fill the room. But after a while the clean up and disposal of the tree was just not worth the effort. "Fake" Christmas trees are just as good. As long as there was a tree, Christmas would still be magical.




 I was so excited when Jed's family planned to go up into the mountains to get a Christmas tree! We bundled up and took hot soup and cocoa with us on our journey. 





 We were all excited to find snow falling up on the mountain tops!! This was before it snowed down in the town. We were having so much fun that we didn't even notice that we were cold! 



We all wanted really good trees for Christmas, so we hunted and hunted. We ended go up the mountain and deep into the woods in search for that perfect tree! It was fun!!! 



 We are grateful for good vehicles that allow us to haul three Christmas trees!! One for the Zine family, Capps family, and Uncle Ricks family. Luckily we knew what to look for in a good Christmas tree: height, color, and Christmas branches for the ornaments!! 




 E for Effort!! Thanks Cass, Jed, and Sam for being amazing men to hunt, chop, and haul the perfect Christmas trees down the hill for us!!






 Sam and Ali's Christmas tree! Its perfect!! 






 One little, two little, three little Christmas trees..... 





 Hauling it down the mountain and out of the woods! 



 The Capps love their Christmas tree! Can't wait to get it up in the house and put lights on it!! 
Yes I am the one holding the saw but no I did not cut the tree down. :) 



 Lets head home!

  2. So! Fun, I know one year lance and I are going to do that. It's pretty fun and you got lots of good pictures! I also think its cute because I think your hat is on backwards. I think I would have let people suppose you chop it down because you totally could have. That was an awesome tree you had in the Capps house good work!
