Getting the Tree

The day after Thanksgiving, while everyone else is out shopping, we are out in the mountains finding the PERFECT Christmas Tree. After Thanksgiving dinner we head to Wyoming where we spend the night. This year we stayed at Grandma Field's and had a huge sleepover with Jake, Becky, Lexy, Adam, Jayda, Aly, Craig, Brielle, Grandma Lu, Grandpa Ernie, and Cheyna. The kids might have had a little too much fun. When we get up we bundle up really warm to head out in the cold. We had a hard time getting up to where we like to go, because there was so much snow and nobody else had driven up there. Grandpa kept getting stuck, so Jake plowed the way. It was kind of exciting.

Jaxson jumped out of the car and had to go and make his snow angel. When he was getting up, his gloves came off and he was done.

This is what he did the rest of the day. At least he had fun.

Kennady was so excited for this trip. She told me that her favorite part of Christmas was going to Wyoming and finding a tree.

As soon as we got out of the car, She was off finding Ryan and Lexy.

These 3 spent over an hour uncovering their "fossil".


Hallee had a hard time finding the love. She just wanted me to hold her.


But man, give the girl some hot chocolate and put her in the car and she found new life.

After a LONG day of trying to find a tree, Kyle had to turn it over to me. I went out with Craig, Todd, and Cheyna and found us a beautiful tree. And it didn't take too long. So we threw it up on top of the car and became the Griswalds!!
