Last weekend, we went up to Utah for a tree hunting trip. I've had the experience of cutting down a Christmas tree with my family every year and it is always so fun. We got up really early Saturday morning and headed to Cedar City, UT and the Dixie National Forest. For whatever reason, we never think Utah will have snow on the ground in December so we typically end up unprepared... this year was no different. We were in snow up to our mid-calf for most of the morning. At least this year, we wore knee length socks!
Despite a tiny bit of hypothermia we found a great tree and got it back home safely. We were talking about how fun it will be in a few years when we can make a whole day of it. Cooper really liked the snow but wanted to keep putting his hands in it and then every time he touched it, he would start to whine because his hands were too cold! It's so funny, all the things they have to learn on their own.
PS, Cooper ate with a shovel the other day. We couldn't take it away, we were laughing too hard... but we did get some fun pictures!!
So fun. I've never gotten my own tree like that before. We might have to do that one year. Oh and Cooper eating with a shovel is hilarious!
