Getting the Christmas Tree

Every year (except for last year, my dear sweet brother-in-law Morgan got us one) we go out into the mountains with out saw and tree permit, and cut down our Christmas Tree.  We always have a story that goes with it and this year was no exception.  We decided to go up Skinner Canyon and took the Suburban since it has 4 wheel drive.  Which is necessary, trust me.  So the kids were all starving and I had to run to town right before so I picked up some pizza and then we got some Gossner milk out of the basement.  It turns out that Andrew is just interested in the Cheese and Meat of the pizza.  Thomas ate 6 slices and Nolan drank 4 milks.

Quinn absolutely loves when I take pictures of him while he is eating.  He is sooo cute!!!

The kids were having a hard time getting up the hill to go get us a tree.

Here is cute little Andrew who really wanted to walk up the mountain all by himself.  Nolan is kindly pointing out that there is a huge hole and not to walk into it.  So we didn't blow up a truck engine this year so as far as getting tree's goes this was a mild one.
