Well last year we went to the corner parking lot and bought our tree for around $50. This year we decided to go and get a tag for $10 and cut our own in the National Forest. Which is about a 20 minute drive from our house. It really didn't go as we had planned. We were planning on doing it last weekend, but we decided to go this weekend instead. Big mistake. This weekend the kids were sick and 1 foot of snow pushed in overnight and we didn't have chains for hubbies truck. We drove as far as we could go. Then we decided to turn around stop where the National Forest begins and hike up the hill. While me and hubby headed up the hill in about 1 & 1/2 foot of snow (because you had to cut a tree 100 feet off of the road) the two little ones stayed in the warm car. We just choose 1 for us and 1 (charlie brown) tree for Uncle Scott in the trailer. Wish it would of been more of a family adventure. But, at least we know it's going to be a white Christmas for us. With the forecast calling for 4 to 6 inches of snow tonight and snow for the next 7 days. We are all thrilled. From our family to yours we wish everyone a Merry Christmas.
