The hunt for the Perfect Christmas Tree













Yesterday we headed West to cut down our Christmas tree. This year we got our permit for Chief Hosa-not far up I70 and beautiful!

We stopped at a few different spots and hiked around-through snow, no gators and no snowshoes. A couple of times the snow got deep, up to my knees!

We found a few trees that would work and then narrowed it down before finally picking the perfect tree.

Perfect tree-really what that means when you go to the mountains and cut a tree down is the perfect, imperfect, tree. For us that means tall-at the very least 11' and as full as possible. But, as with most perfect, imperfect, trees, finding a full one is difficult.

We think we found a pretty good one this year-but then we say that every year. Now on to the decorating-stay tuned!!

  1. Your tree looks really pretty! Looks like you and Matt and Maddie had a really good time cutting it down. I bet Maddie loved the snow! You will have to post a picture with the tree all decorated. Love you!
