Wanted to share pictures of our annual Christmas tree hunt! Every year we head up to one of the national forests that is participating and I love it! Some years we drive a few hours, some years we trudge through knee deep snow - this year presented it's own challenge for me, hauling my 28 week pregnant belly around in the woods! My balance was definitely off, so luckily the snow wasn't too deep so it was a little easier to see the obstacles that I needed to step over. This year we were lucky to find beautiful trees very quickly! However, they are all (all 4 family trees) drying out too quickly and shedding needles like crazy. That's the thing with avoiding fake trees or tree lots - you can't guarantee the condition of the tree no matter what they look like. I think it's totally worth it though!
Here are some pictures -
Found it!
Watching Luke clear some branches to get to the tree
We were a little over zealous with the height of our tree....
My jacket was working hard to cover me :)
One of my favorite candid pictures ever!
The Moss girls!
All the kids - Bryan, Meg, Luke, Kelly, and me
Working on getting our tree up finally! It sat at my parents' house for two weeks until we could move it to the new house. Finn is watching Christmas Vacation while we do this :) We ended up hacking a couple of feet off the top and another 6 inches from the bottom to get the tree to fit!
