The Cutting of a Tree

Yesterday, as tradition would have it, we cut down our Christmas tree. Kelly and I, Kathy and Dennis, Shauna and John, Jay and Joy, Sheryl and Jeff, Alaina, Taylee, Matthew and Parker, all drove up to Heber to cut down our trees this year. It was pretty snowy up there and the freezing rain didn't help driving conditions very much either. We enjoyed a very interesting and at times frightening ride home. Also, as tradition would have it, Kelly found the tallest tree in the forest and we decided that had to be the one...minus 20 or so feet. The tree started out looking pretty big, but we had to cut a bunch off the bottom to keep the top from dragging on the ground all the way home. Also, one side of the tree broke to peices when it landed so it ended up looking smaller in the end. Still, a nice looking tree and as always, a fun filled Grizwold Christmas experience!
