We decided to start a fun new family tradition of cutting our own Christmas tree. Very early on the morning of the first Saturday in November, Nate, his brother Justin, and my brother Brett drove to Midway and stood in line in freezing cold weather in order to get tree permits. The permits are only $10, but they are limited so they go quickly. Luckily, we got our permits. So on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, we made the drive to the Uintah National Forest by Heber to get our Christmas trees!
Here are our troopers! It was a freezing cold, windy morning. Angie, Sienna, Skyler and I waited in the car because it was just too cold for the babies (plus Skyler was hungry). It took an hour or so to find, cut, and haul back 3 beautiful Christmas trees! Then we drove back into Heber and ate lunch at the Dairy Keen. Yum!

That is so awesome! What a fun tradition, hopefully the kids will be able to enjoy it as they get older and can handle the cold. ;)
That is a cool tradition to start. And $10 for a tree is such a good deal!
look at the comments on my blog for the stocking info :)
Some day when we have our own house we plan to have the same tradition. I can't wait.. that looks like so much fun!
