Christmas Compromise


When we first got married , we bought real Christmas trees. Michael was always afraid of our tree catching on fire because lot trees are so dry. Then for years we put up a fake tree. And I cried because I needed the tree smell and needles on the floor. We came up with a great compromise. We go to the mountains and cut our tree. It is great memory making stuff. We bring chili and hot chocolate. We sled if there is snow and just enjoy the whole adventure. This year we took Jon and Miles with us. Rachel and Sean stayed home and relaxed, however, I did notice a freshly vacuumed house when we returned.

Jon's Pick



Someone forgot to bring bowls for the chili so we just took turns slurping up the stuff


All loaded up and ready to go

Ah, There is nothing like cutting down your own tree in the woods in Idaho.
