We went and got our tree last weekend. It is the earliest we have ever cut our tree, but since our plan is to be in Utah for Christmas we wanted to maximize our time enjoying it. We traveled to the Snowy Range and found more snow than in years past. It was the good kind of snow. Perfect for making snow balls

Emmrey found it to be just the right backdrop to practice her splits
After a bit of searching we spotted this beautiful Subalpine Fir.
Bailee jumped right in to help cut it down
Trekking through deep snow and hauling the tree out of the forest, we had worked up an appetite. Mark made us grilled cheese and hot chocolate for lunch.
and there is always sledding involved in our outing
It was a nice day spent in the mountains.
Now we've got this beautiful tree waiting in the garage until we find the right time to bring it in and decorate:)
Very cool tradition, and such a beautiful scenery. Looks like Emmrey is quite the gymnast!
