A Hunting We Will Go...

On Saturday we bundled up and piled in the pick up truck to go and pick out the perfect Christmas tree! Well, maybe not the perfect Christmas tree, but the perfect Charlie Brown Christmas tree! It has been five Christmases since we have done this, it was both Calum and Armin's first time and it was a ton of fun! It was really cold when we left home, but oddly enough when we stopped in Claresholm to put fuel in the truck we thought the air felt warmer. And when we got to the hills it was definitely warmer! The skies were crystal clear and a beautiful shade of blue, the snow was fluffy and soft!

We did have to put chains on the truck, always an adventure but such a neat thing for the kids to see!

We only stopped the truck twice to hunt for a tree, and were lucky to find two beautiful trees on our second stop! We found one for Buck and Arren too, and they decorated it and said it is the best tree they have ever had! We will hopefully do ours tonight, Jared was hit hard with the flu at 5 yesterday morning. Poor guy, it really is not fun to see our loved ones sick, it takes so much out of them! It was a great day in the hills, and I am looking forward to many, many, many more years of getting a tree!
