One Big Tree

It's that time of year again-time to get a Christmas tree. We have a little tradition with Chillin's family and we go on a big adventure and cut down our own tree. We haven't been able to go the past couple of years so I was excited that we could make it. I was really excited when I found out the weather was going to be good. I HATE to be wet and cold. It's just not my thing. Chill was working so Carson and I rode up with Chillin's mom and brother. He made the trip up to the Uintahs and had a great time. Carson looked so cute in his snow suit but it reminded me a little of A Christmas Story. I had the poor kid all bundled up. Carson got to ride on a snowmobile for the first time and of course had a blast. He loves to ride on things that go fast. Carson spent much of the day with Grandpa Doug and he couldn't have been happier. Claudia and Doug cut down a tree for us and it was one big tree. We had to cut most of it off, but it still looks great. I just love the smell of real trees in my house. Chill made it up right about the time we were heading out. We went to Chill's aunts cabin to sit by the fire and eat some soup.

We hurried home so that we could spend the evening with my family celebrating Nat and Jared's birthday. We of course went to Robintinos for dinner then had yummy cupcakes and opened presents. It was so fun to have them home so that we could celebrate. They weren't hear long enough, but they will be back in the middle of December for Christmas.
