The Saturday before Thanksgiving, we ventured up in the woods to cut down our first live Christmas tree. It was a little harder than we expected – there are millions of trees in the forest, right? Apparently not the right kind, size, and shape. We had a lot of fun though. The first place we went we couldn’t find anything, and as we drove back to the freeway to try another spot, we saw one on the off-ramp that we decided would be our backup if we didn’t find anything else. We tried another spot, where we had to drive up the mountain a ways, but finally started seeing cars coming down with trees on top so we figured we were heading the right direction. Bennett was excited to see some snow. When the roads started to be snow packed, we parked and walked a ways up the road, then ventured off the road. Our tree is a little bit of a Charlie Brown tree, but it has been fun to have a real tree, and we like it more because it took some effort to find it :)

success!
