O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree....

We got up to Jackson Hole on the 23rd and were planning to go and get our Christmas tree as soon as we got there, but due to the bad weather it took us a bit longer to get up there than expected!  So we woke up on Christmas Eve to go and cut down our Christmas tree.  We went to an area North of the condo, where the man said the trees need to be thinned (Eryn:)).  It was beautiful up there!  I could not believe how much snow they already had!  It was awesome.  We picked a spot and headed out to find our Christmas tree.  It was FREEZING!!!, but super fun!
Here is my mom as we are looking for our Christmas tree.  The snow was coming up to people thighs.  It was awesome!
My dad, sister, and I before our trek for our Christmas tree.
A few of us wore snow shoes to pave the way for those who did not have snow shoes on.  It was so fun.  We decided to try and run in them a few times.  Lets just say I ended up on my face or butt a few times with that!
Here is Ash and Anne, neither of them wore the snow shoes, so they came in after us.  Do they look cold??:)
Here is our tree.  As you can see it was kind of a charlie brown tree, but that is what we like:).
Before cutting it down!

Alec and my dad trying to make it fit in the small tree stand we brought at our condo.
After cutting the tree down we had my dad pull us behind the car.  It was so much fun!  We wanted to keep going, but we needed to get home to get the tree decorated before night.  It was way fun though.

Steve looks like he has two heads.  I thought this picture was so cute.  What an adorable family huh!:)
Steve and Annie putting tinsel on the tree.  They were having a great time.  By the end it looked like the whole tree was covered.  It was pretty funny.
