Tis the Season!

Going to get the Christmas Tree is one of my favorite traditions we have. I used to have to beg Mike to go, know he enjoys it. (Enjoys it enough to get me 2 trees) We head up Strawberry Canyon and drive as far as we can off the road and then hike. Sometimes this requires snow shoes, but not this year. There was just enough snow to play in, keep the mud off our boots and for Rylie to play in. There is nothing better than the smell of a real tree, its a lot of work but so worth it.

Mike in action.




I love this stuff!

Like Mike says a "photo op"

One of the finished trees. I have been collecting Moose ornaments for quite awhile okay, years. Most of them are moose on ski's, snowshoes or sleds. I have picked them up all over the place and I love unwrapping each ornament and placing it on the tree. I reminisce about all the places I have been and where each Moose came from or the reason I picked that Moose. (If I get the basement tree done, I may post pictures).
Tis the Season, an absolute favorite!

I love your stockings. Did you make 'em?

The stockings look great. Getting the tree looks fun, too. We have yet to experience that. But it looks fun.

I love your moose tree. I was thinking about your stockings, cause I know that you made them. I might have to get some ideas from you, but not this year. We will still use our ugly ones.
