Every year we head up into the mountains to cut down Christmas trees. This year was MISERABLE!! It was snowing like crazy - it was close to 3 hours in the car driving in horrible conditions and we all know Chylie DOES NOT do well driving in snow!
We hiked in almost waist deep of FREEZING cold snow cutting down a whopping total of 10 Christmas trees.
Why do we do it you ask??? Cuz it's tradition - but I am all for tweaking traditions and making everyone who wants a tree come cut it with us so we aren't dragging 10 trees! LOL
Since I struggle driving in snowy conditions - I had to keep my mind off it. So that involved wrestling with, teasing, and photo's with Diesel! He was such a good sport! I am just prepping him for when we gets around kids - he is a very patient boy thanks to me!
Tren and John searching for trees! They were hard to come by. You would think there would be plenty of christmas trees in the mountains but most are WAY too big for a home. Don't worry - we were cutting until it got dark.
Diesel on the other hand LOVED cutting trees. He ran around the whole time. You could barely see him cuz the snow would completely cover him. You would randomly see this black dog pop up out of the snow and then disappear again. It was really fun to watch him.

Our tree! After a long and exhausting day - we were able to bring our tree home. I LOVE it!
I have to say - it's not all that bad cutting christmas trees. (Just this year was bad) I really love spending the day with my hubby and father in law. These two are SO much fun! (especially when they are together) We made great memories and we can laugh about them now.
