Another Tradition...Christmas Tree Hunting

Our annual Saturday-After-Thanksgiving-Christmas-Tree-Hunting-Party!
No snow this year, so we were able to get to the very top!
We parked where there was more room, then piled into trucks to go up further.
 

Looking down over the valley...it was forecast to rain, but we had a gorgeous day!

Climbing in the dirt can be just as fun as playing in the snow!

Ben and Andre out hunting.

Look at those happy faces!  They just found our first tree!  We always get two, one for us and one for Grandma Vikki.

obligatory "put the camera on a tree trunk and run to get in the picture" shot.




Cutting off the bottom so we don't have to haul as much up the huge hill.

While Brad and Ben hauled the first tree up, Kylie and I searched for, and found the second, which we had to haul up.  It was much bigger than our first tree...thank goodness Kylie is so strong!

It's a good one! Can't wait to get it home and see if it fits in the living room!

We had a large group this year.  Hansens, Olivers, Ramirezes, Hooyers, Van Akens, Kollodges, and Tatros!

Ninja tree hunters?

Kylie's friend Kate's family is always up there on the same day.

Aren't we lovely?

Ready to haul them home!
