Christmas Tree Shopping

This is the ONLY way to get a Christmas tree! Cutting down our own Christmas tree is a tradition we started the first year we were married, and we had so much fun we decided to do it every year! So after constructing a makeshift sled for Hailey (it may or may not be her baby bathtub), we bundled up and headed for the mountains! Upon arriving, we realized we were in for an adventure, because there was a ton of snow... we expected some, just not quite that much. We hiked for who knows how long (it felt like we went a long ways) through snow that was anywhere from knee to waist deep until we finally found that perfect tree, cut it down and brought it home! Although we could only use the sled part of the time and had to be carried through the snow a lot, she was a trooper! I think she had a little bit of fun :)

This first video is about 2 months old, but at the request of Grandma Higgins, I'm putting it up now.
