Christmas Tree Outing

For the last few years we have cut down our own tree, the girls really love it and so does Lyf. I think that it is fun, but it is cold and wet and messy. This year Lyf took us to Jacob's Lake for a Spruce. The girls got really excited when they saw snow. Lyf told them that we would find some snow so they had their gloves and scarfs and they were excited. We don't get much snow so we are not equipped for it. Their feet and hands were freezing within minutes. Lyf hiked around and found a big tree for us and drug it back. I found the perfect one for my mom only 5 feet off of the little dirt road we were on. I don't need to venture around in the snow. Lyf packed a cute little picnic of pb & j, oranges, string cheese, and hot chocolate! He set up his stove and kettle and heated the water and we sipped hot chocolate. It was a good time, good memories, and now we have a big beautiful 12 foot tree.

Lyf packed 2 bottles for Kate so he washed down his sandwich with one.
