So last year we went and cut down our own Christmas Tree the day after Thanksgiving with Chill's family. It was so much fun and we decided we needed to do it again this year. In order to cut the tree down you have to have a permit. We needed three permits (Chill's parents and brother were out of town) so we made my brother Brent come with us. They only allow one permit per person. Very strict!!! We left the house at 5:30 a.m. and drove to Soldier Hollow in Midway. We got there at about 6:20 a.m. and had to wait in line for over an hour and a half. They open the doors and start selling the permits at 8:00 a.m. You had to get there early though to get a good place in line. It was a little chilly and I was exhausted, but it wasn't that bad. We finally made it through the line and were out of there by about 8:30. I know we'll be happy when we have a "Special" Christmas Tree again this year.
Our first Christmas Tree, isn't it cute?
It really wasn't this cold, but I went prepared for anything. I was acutally burning up under all my layers!!
