Each year we have a tradition of going up into the mountains to cut down our Christmas tree the Saturday after Thanksgiving. We usually go with my family but everyone was going in different directions this year so we went solo this time. We left Jerome about 10:30 a.m. and drove up into the South Hills. Because the weather has been so mild this year (the wind was blowing a bit, which made it chilly) there was hardly any snow, and we were able to locate our tree in about 15 minutes. Zach chopped it down and we all loaded up on the four-wheelers and drove back to the trailer. We had the traditional chili dogs and hot chocolate for lunch and then we were back in Jerome by 2:30 p.m.
The tree is pretty and is now full of ornaments from the kids. I measured the tree wrong and cut it too short but with the angel on top it is almost perfect!
