Since Steve and I have been married, we have made it a tradition to go chop down our Christmas tree together. We usually go with the Harris' (with the exception of one year that they didn't come with us.) This is a very fun tradition that I hope we carry on when we have kids. If you haven't done it before, I highly recommend it! We go up Strawberry/Immigration Canyon in Idaho.
Amy and Owen. Owen was very excited to ride in Uncle Steve's truck!
We searched for our trees for about a half hour. I was glad that there was a little bit of snow up there, since there isn't any down in the valley. It was a sunny, beautiful day. The best tree-chopping weather is when it's lightly snowing.

TIMBER!
Owen and Amy. Owen loved walking in the snow. It was cute.

After we got our trees, we went to Preston and ate lunch at Pizza Villa. Then we took Owen to show him the "reindeer" (I wanted to see them to). There weren't as many as we've seen before; Santa must have taken them to the North Pole already to train them. Steve kept ruining our fun by calling them elk, what's up with that?

Sounds a lot like our Christmas tree tradition. It's so much fun. When I was kid we would often go the day after Thanksgiving and take turkey sandwiches on rolls. Love those memories!
Seriously Steve...I am sure Dasher and Dancer do not appreciate being called Elk! We titled our posts the same and I didn't even look at your blog...we must be sisters. I love our tradition!
