O Christmas Tree....

Every year we have the same old tradition of going up the mountains to cut down our Christmas tree. The kids go sledding and we usually bring something to eat and have hot cocoa. This year was by far the easiest year of finding the tree. We usually hike all over the mountain until we find that perfect tree. When we got out of our vehicles Arlund & my brother-in-law Russel walked around the corner and started yelling that they had found our trees. We cut them down, ate a hotdog, let the kids sled for a minute and were on our way home.....so much fun!

Derek sledding...hanging by the campfire.

Ashlie & Shelby (can you tell they are sisters)..Brandon looked like a mini version of the little boy from Christmas story....guys wait for me...haha! He was plenty bundled up!

Brandon & Dad...best buddies! Our tree (missing star on top lol) The boys always have fun decorating the tree. I thought it was going to be an interesting year with Brandon but he has not been that bad. He took a few decorations off when we were decorating it but other than that stays out of it. I made sure to get an extra pokey one haha! It will be a different story when we start putting presents under it. This is the funnest but busiest age ever!
