Christmas Tree Time!

Its that time of year again! Where we celebrate the birth of our wonderful Saviour! It has been fun for Samantha and I to start some family traditions of our own.


Something like decorating a Christmas tree, might not seem like much to most people (especially if you have done it for years with your family), but for Samantha and I it is just another chance to set in motion something that our family (future children) can to together for years to come.

Our Tree

Putting together an artificial tree with out instructions can be a little bit confusing. But we figured it out! It was fun to try and figure out which branch was longer, and which one went where.

Out cat found a new place to take a nap!

Almost done!

Going to Get Mom and Dad's Tree

Another importnat tradition for Samantha's family is going in to the mountains to cut down their real Christmas tree. I have been told, that in years past, it has been quite the adventure. Things like getting stuck and almost sliding off the mountain and Flesh wounds left me a little nervous.

So this being my first time I was a little bit worried, but mostly excited.


 I figured that since Samantha and I were going to follow along in my truck and Mom, Dad, and Rodddy were going up in their car, it should be ok. (I brought the tow strap just in case!)

Mom and Samantha packed turkey sandwiches and hot chocolate. So we could have a little picnic when we got there.

After a good little drive we finally arrived at the spot where the search for the perfect tree was to began.

We found it!!

This was a really fun trip for everyone! 

Fun time and a great memory!
