TIMBER! OH Chirstmas Tree

So my friend Sarah had a great idea...this year we would go with our husbands to cut down our own Christmas trees together. Spencer had to wake up early the day after Thanksgiving and go purchase our permit to cut down a tree. Well what I didn't realize is that we were going to have to drive three hours away to cut down a tree that we would have up in our house for only three weeks, but anywho. We took the long journey a couple of weeks ago up by the Idaho-Utah border to find the perfect Christmas tree. We had such a great time! Once we found the place where we could cut a tree down (we got a little lost) we hiked up and down the mountains and found two perfect Christmas trees. This is our tree that we found. It was one of the first ones we saw, but we had to make sure it was the one. We finally came back to it an hour later since we couldn't find one better.

When we first talked about doing this during the first part of November we thought there would be snow up there by the beginning of December. We were actually kind of excited to snowshoe in and pack it out. There was no snow (thank goodness) and it was quite warm, hence why we aren't wearing coats.

Jason just had to bring an ax up just for a picture..he does look very mountain men like

Here is Sarah and Jason carrying their tree out.

Thanks Sarah for the fun idea we loved hanging out with you guys!
