A real Christmas Tree!

This year we went up into the Uintas to cut down a real Christmas Tree. We headed out with our friends Ryan and Devin Howell and their three kids to find the perfect tree. There was plenty of snow but it was very warm outside. We hiked around for about an hour before we found the perfect tree. At first Devan did not like it but after it was decorated he loved it. We love to look at our tree and the wonderful smell it brings into our home. I think we have a new tradition to look forward to in the years to come.It took Neil only seconds to cut down our perfect tree and then about 15 minutes to drag it back to the truck. We sure had a great time and look forward to next year to do it again.

Sounds like fun! Glad you could find one quickly. I know some people who stomped around for hours looking for a tree, not to mention taking forever to chop it down and take it home. Way to go Neil!
