One of the reasons we were excited about getting back to Colorado was for Brandon's family tree-hunting trip (with permits of course). We went up to Pike National Forrest and hiked around for a few hours with no luck of a tree. It was a beautiful day, but the kids were still getting cold and exhausted. Right when we were about to settle for less, we went on the other side of the road and it was like night and day. Literally, the other side, down a hill a little ways, was like a Christmas tree garden! We had lots to choose from and because we have a vaulted ceiling, we were able to find the perfect tree at the perfect height! We even got a tree for the girls room which thrilled them to no end. The second we got home the ornaments and lights came out and voila, we were singing, Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree! (not literally--kind of sac religious, huh?). What a fun way to start the season!
