For the last three or four years we have taken the Saturday following Thanksgiving to go into the mountains with several of our friends to find our Christmas tree. This year we were especially excited because of the wet weather we have had. We knew there would be lots of snow to play in.

| Carson taking it out on McKenna - are you all seeing the pecking order?! |
We were not disappointed. With all the snow, finding the tree was the easy part; finding our way back to the vehicles and our friends was a little harder. Next time I think we will be a little better about marking a trail as we head into the woods.

| Yeah, the real man that cut it down is not in this picture... |
Austin was being very particular this year about the kind of tree he wanted. I am not sure if he got exactly what he had in mind, but he did approve it before we cut it down.

After all that work a nice warm bowl of chili topped with cheese, hot dogs and chips, and hot chocolate with marshmallows was a much needed treat.

Monday night for Family Home Evening we decorated the tree. Each member of the family has their own set of ornaments that mark special memories and/or events in their lives. It is fun to reflect on where we have been and where we are going over the years. The tree looked beautiful in our living room all month long.
