Finding the perfect tree

Saturday Collin, Abby, Madelyn, Thomas and I went with Grandma and Grandpa Anderson to help them find a Christmas tree. We drove up Ephraim canyon and found a good place to look for trees. Thomas fell asleep on the way up so he took a nap in the van while we went looking for trees. (don't worry, I didn't leave him alone, Deb was there because Blake had fallen asleep in the truck) We hiked up a small path until we found a few nice trees. It was very easy to get to the trees because there was almost no snow on the mountain yet. Grandpa sawed the tree down and then he and Collin carried the tree back to the truck. Then we watched the babies while Deb and Scott went to find their tree. Grandma thought that it would be fun to light a fire so we tried to find some dry wood and lit a fire while we waited for Deb and Scott. The kids thought that was really fun and the tree smelled so good it really got me in the mood for Christmas decorating. I am so excited for the Christmas season. It really is my favorite time of year.
