We walked down a few rows and found a great tree that we all liked (well, except Lindsey. She really wanted a blue spruce, but we all thought it looked too blue). Then, I waited at the tree with a couple of kids, while Jon walked back to the gate and returned with a guy on a 4-wheeler. We sawed it down, loaded it on the 4 wheeler and they drove the tree to the van. The kids had a great time (other than waiting for us to tie the tree to the roof)!
Then, last night, I was cleaning up dinner, Jon was sleeping and the kids were putting the decorations on all by themselves. I had Christmas music on and it was a moment of perfectness for me to see my 5 little children around the tree putting decorations and candy canes on it. Ah, I love the Christmas season!

That is cool. I didn't know there was one in Alpine. The one we go into is Ogden (Morgan Canyon). We'll have to try this one.
One of my favorite Christmas memories as a kid was going to the tree farm to cut our own tree, but I've never known where there were any farms here. I'll have to get the info from you next November!
can't wait to see it set up! fun fun!
My favorite Christmas tree cutting memory is still the first year we cut a tree in Ohio and then with the tree on top of the van parked front and center in front of the McDonalds at the Easton Mall. Jon and I were laughing so hard! Nothing like fitting in with the ritzy shoppers!
how fun! I wish we got real trees... Its such a fun tradition to go pick them out! The individual shots of your kids are so cute.
I think Diego (Tyler) looks exactly like Kyle. How fun beth got to come visit for a few days!! I miss them too... Next time you talk to her -- tell her hi from me.
