O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...




We went on our 2nd annual Christmas tree hunt the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We go to Christmas Tree Meadows with a group of friends a cut down our tree. Last year we were worried because the trees always look small out in the meadow, then you bring them into your house and they end up being HUGE. So we were very careful not to cut one down that was too tall. Our end result was hilarious! For those of you who remember our Whoville/Charlie Brown tree last year you will be impressed this year! Last year our tree was almost 6 feet tall and it was VERY skinny with lots and lots of space in between each branch. It also had a slight tipping forward issue! This year we were a little braver, and WOAH! It look smaller out in the mountains than when we got it into our driveway ready to bring in the house. This year we are proud to show you our 16 foot tree! It is a little taller than we thought it was going to be! We had to put two strands of lights on the top before we even brought it in the house. I think all together there are 1200 lights on the tree. So if you want your house to glow from your family Chirstmas tree, just join us next year, we promise it will be entertaining!

Finally, We Found the Camera!

Well, we were in a bit of a panic for a few weeks because we couldn't find our camera. Finally, we found it! So we can update our blog. We'll hurry and catch you up. Halloween came and went and so did Thanksgiving. We didn't take many pictures, because the camera was hiding from us in a very safe spot! We survived it all and we are looking forward to a great Holiday season!
