The tree was actually quite large and the bald spot actually got cut off and it turned out to be one of my favorite trees!!! I will have to post a picture when we get it decorated!
*don't mind my purple hair!! It was learning experiment...but not for me!!!
So, as a new family tradition and for the past couple of years Jake and I have gone up to Idaho to cut down our Christmas tree. I hadn't gone up the mountain to actually cut down the tree, but this year I decided I needed to be in on the fun. Our neighbors, Josh's best friends also came up with us. It was so fun! I loved it! Bruce had gone up this little caynon the day before and had scoped it out for us. It was so fun to be up in mountains. Jake taught me how to pick out the perfect tree....there is definitely an art to the whole thing! But in the end we did find the perfect one and I LOVE it! It is so cute and we couldn't have found a cuter one anywhere else! It was so fun to be with Jake. We went off by ourselves as he was teaching me what to look for, one that stands by itself. We had left Avery home with grandma, and it was so nice to just have that time with eachother. It was a little chilly but it was just me and him on the mountain. (everyone else was somewhere else). It is times like that that you have to step back and enjoy. We haven't really had a relaxing couple of hours away from everything, to just enjoy eachother. It was so fun to walk around the mountain with him. I loved it. It will definitely be a fun tradition to carry out for years to come.

Fun tradition! I love the tree. It looks like it has a lot of personality. (When it comes to BYU-Utah, Josh does not remotely care if BYU gets more money, if it's better for the conference, etc. He just wants Utah to burn... He definitely is extreme.)
Oh how fun!! Maybe one day you will have to fill me in on how to find the "perfect tree." Our tree is pretty ghetto, but we are decorating it tonight with Carter. Should be fun! I will post some pics of the completed project.
hahah ya that was totally me! Send me their link if you find it again. Did you get a new email?
Hey Anna! Your little one is so dang cute!! I know a couple cute little boys who might be interested in her in about 16 years. Let's get them together! Things in AZ are going ok. I was laid off in November so I am just out looking for work. The nice part about it was I got to have a good long Thanksgiving vacation. Miss your guts!

Glad you guys had fun! What a fun tradition!
Great tree, it looks big. I hope you have a great Christmas and maybe we will make it to the Christmas Party. You can go to my blog I sent you an email and check out our tree this year. We have never picked one out we have always had a fake one and it is quite fun. C-ya soon.
That tree looks freakin Huge. I can't wait to see it all decorated in your house. Sorry we have been so crazy busy. Lets hang out this weekend. Give Avery a kiss for me.
Hooray! What a fun tradition. Your tree is so big! You'll have to give me some tree-hunting pointers. I bet it looks beautiful.
