The TREE!

The first weekend of December we packed up the family (even Molly) and headed to Idaho to cut down the perfect Christmas tree. Yes, we went all the way to Idaho to get a tree. Which sounds very funny I know. It's my sister Amie's family tradition and I thought we would join this year. She lives in Twin Falls, Idaho. That's the reason for the long travel for a silly old Christmas tree. The nice thing was Adaline slept the whole way there. Saturday after a nice ward breakfast we started on our adventure for the perfect tree. After a hour drive to the hiking spot. We started hiking and looking at every tree, We only had a permit for up to 10 feet. After about an hour we both found our trees. We cut them down and pulled them back to the trucks. It's very hard to judge a 10 foot tree out in the wilderness. So as you can imagine Cal got the biggest tree. When we got it home we found out that the tree was bigger than the area (like always). He cut off about 3feet to make it fit. This year my tree is ALL RED. We tried to do white/red but didn't have enough and all the stores were out. Well it is always hard when you need about 20 boxes of lights. Yes, our tree has over 2000 lights on it. That's what you get when your husband is a Christmas light installer. The tree!
