After weeks of getting teasers, with only dustings of snow, we finally got a real snow last week. The kids (and mom and dad) had a blast playing in the snow, making a snow fort, snow angels, a snow man, snowball fights, and sledding.
Yesterday we went on our family tradition trek to pick out a Christmas tree. We drove up to the forest near the mountains, strapped on some snow shoes, and started hiking through the woods to find the perfect tree.
We even got a pretty good Christmas picture of the kids, bonus!
David, Joel, and Hannah leading the way.
Olivia and Josiah got a free ride in the sled - much easier than trying to walk in the deep snow!
Once we found our perfect tree, everyone had a turn with the saw to cut it down. Didn't take too long since the trunk on this one is super skinny!
Joel and Hannah carried it back to the car most of the way.
Joel helped David tie it on top of the van.
After finally getting the tree up in the stand (not an easy task at all with a really skinny trunk) we decorated the tree and Josiah got the honors of helping to put on the tree topper since this will be his first Christmas with his forever family!
