Oh Christmas Tree

We have been enjoying this very busy and very exciting and fun time of year. Heath just recently transferred into the Air Force Reserves after serving 9 years with the Utah Army National Guard, we are very excited about the changes that will come with this transfer.

Our latest adventure took us to the mountains for a family tradition.

To find the....


perfect tree.
This year we went to a new spot and after 4 hours of searching Heath found "the perfect charlie brown tree"
The kids had a blast riding the 4 wheeler and playing in the snow.

Riker and Paislee having a snack while we scoped out potential trees.


Our cute tree, if fits so perfectly. The kids are really proud of it.


Riker was so excited to play on the ladder while Heath set the tree up. He is the cutest little man ever!


We also decided to have an entire kid Christmas tree. We made our own ornaments out of gingerbread cookie dough, although all the ornaments on the bottom of the tree have little bite marks in them. Riker can't quite figure out why the cookies are on the tree! Paislee is my little baker, she did such a great job of cutting out the cookies with the cookie cutters.


The perfect Christmas Tree! It brings such an nice warm feeling along with the yummy smell of pine. We have had the lights on since we strung them!

We hope you enjoy the holiday season and hope that you feel the true spirit of Christmas in your hearts and homes.

Merry Christmas

  1. I looks so pretty! And you're right, the perfect Christmas tree does bring a special feeling into the home. I stop dead in my tracks at least a hundred times a day to admire our tree. Maybe one of these years, you guys can take my little family on a tree huntin' adventure. It looks like so much fun!
