Our family got to go on a great Christmas tree adventure this year to find the perfect tree. A few miles from our home is the National Forest so we decided to cut one down instead of doing the tree farm thing. What an adventure it was. The Williams family hunted, and hunted through 10" of fresh powder until we found THE perfect bright green tree. 
Cooper and I headed back to the truck to warm his little frigid face. Brian and the boys were off to cut down our Christmas tree the old fashion way....with a hand saw! After sawing it 2 different times they drug it up a hillside that was as steep as the north side of Mt. Everest. Yup, by the time their heads peaked over the mountain Brian was about ready to pass out. He looked like he had just road 200 miles on his road bike. As soon as he got back to the truck the door flew open and he grabbed a RED BULL and guzzled it down. I was laughing just a little because the tree was HUGE! Well, we through it in the back of the truck and snowplowed our way back home. I LOVE going on fun adventures and today.......was a fun adventure.
