3 stages of a Christmas tree

One of our favorite tradition of the year is the annual tree hunt!
(check out last year, and the year before that, and the year before that...!!!)

This year was a little dryer than usual - instead of snow pants and knit caps we wore tee shirts and jeans! And instead of sledding the boys played in the creek! But the warm weather and sunshine was great and the extra family that came with us this year made it even better. We enjoyed hiking all over the side of the mountain in search of the perfect tree, and eventually it was Sammy who spotted it and we couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out!
