Since we were gone Thanksgiving weekend, we weren't able to get our tree until the first weekend in December.
We hoped Bailee would be able to join us, so we had to work around her desk shift which didn't end until 2:00.
With daylight burning, we headed to the Snowy Range. We found more snow than I think we have ever encountered on our tree hunts. The roads were still sketchy up in the mountains so it limited how far we could drive up.
We pulled off in a less than ideal area and began our search. The snow was deep ... about 3 feet. Unlike other years, there was very little flat ground to cover which meant a lot of climbing.... in heavy snow:)
We found one we all agreed on {that would also fit our space} ... another Sub Alpine Fir.
Emmrey really wanted a little one for her room. She liked this one, but we convinced her to leave the babies to grow.
Kars got to sawing ....
Bay showed off her muscle too by dragging it down the mountain
It felt a bit fast with the restrictions we had, but I thinks we picked a good one.
A quick {okay it's never really that quick} family photo for our card and we were off!
We had dinner with Bailee and then headed back to Wellington. Sunday night we got her all decorated.
It's strange not having Bailee here to decorate with us. One of those things I may never get used to.
There she is .... perfectly imperfect!
And here is Emm's little tree. It adds a nice warmth to her room as well.
