The annual Christmas tree cutting.

Every year since Bryan and I started dating we made it a tradition to go cut down a tree in the mountains the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Whats cool is that a few of our family and friends have decided to make it a tradition of their own too. Chandra and her family, my dad and Belinda and her family all came with us. I found it pretty pointless to get a tree considering we currently live in a trailer but I found a small one to put in the shop so the boys might think its Christmas. In all we had a good time.....anyone wanna come next year? The tree tag is only 5 bucks!!!! Yeah our tree!
This is Alyvia's tree for her room.

Hagging out by the fire

Porter and his sponge bob backpack

Making a fire......yes I know they are in the wrong order.



I also took the boys to the Manti light parade. They seemed to enjoy it....we missed daddy...he was doing the finish work on our house.





It was too cold so we didnt get out.

My boys would LOVE that! Instead I settle for the fake stuff and stick a tree smelling wallflower in! I know I am lame! Have a great day!
