Christmas Tree Hunting

Ever year we head up Provo Canyon on the hunt for the perfect Christmas tree. This year, our group was definitely the smallest yet, but it was just as fun as ever! Unfortunately, Michael was scheduled to work and trying to find someone to take your shift on a holiday weekend is much easier said than done! So, I was left to find the perfect tree for our home! Luckily, I had these amazing people along to help!

Dad & Buck are the best of friends.

We weren't out hunting for too long when we happened across this tree! The best part of finding one on the mountain is that it is far from perfect. Each tree has it's own character which makes every year different.

 *An important thing to remember though is the tree always looks smaller than it actually is on the mountain. Once you get it home, you generally have to cut off a few feet.*

Then, you haul the tree all the way back to your car and strap it down tight!

There is this adoable lodge across the parking lot from where we go. 

It's tradition we head in there and buy hot chocolate that is always too hot to drink until halfway home. Lucky for me, I don't like hot chocolate so I generally get a Dr. Pepper. Mmm!

By the time we are finished, the drive home is a welcome rest. The pups generally sleep the whole way home and we enjoy Christmas song after Christmas song. 

In other news. I accidentally bought a new laptop. Strange how that happens...
