The winter hunt........

.......Christmas tree hunt, that is!

Hunting always includes playing too. A little snow skating, sledding, and snowball throwing. We indulged in hot cocoa, and snacks. The only thing missing in my opinion was a bon fire (next year I suppose)


The kids help packed the extra branches for the wreath, although they struggled a bit with the actual delivery of them back to the truck.

We found a not so full but beautiful white fir this year.

and most importantly shared the adventure with great friends!
We just got the tree put up tonight and I have to say......
"It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas"

Good luck with that in TX, Emily. I think they SPRAY their trees green. ;) Dawn, it looks like you had a great time. I can't wait to see your tree up and decorated. How do you take the picture of the group? Hmmmm... (Did I ask that last year?)
