We were off to Georgetown canyon early this morning to hunt down a Christmas tree!
Of course we chose to do it when there was a foot of snow on the ground and more on the way! Over the next two days we are due to be hit with the biggest storm of the season so far.Woo Hoo!
Georgetown is about an hour and a half from us and it is absolutely my favorite place to camp and play! We take the 4wheelers out every summer, but this was my first time seeing it covered in snow! All I can say is WOW!
So, bundled in lots of layers and snow chains on, we headed way back into the back country. After about a mile in, we strapped the sled to the back of the truck and pulled the kids along. It was great to hear them all laughing and having a great time. As soon as I figure out how to get pic's from my phone to the computer I'll get them uploaded (Hopefully!)
But in the mean time here is the tree we trudged through the woods to get.
The kids picked it and deemed it "The One!" so lol it's the one!
And here it is decked out:
We had to take a large piece of the top to fit it in the house. It kinda threw off the proportions but thats Ok! It's Christmas!
We decked out the tree with almost all of our Hallmark ornaments from Grandma Peggy and Grandpa Hub... there are at least 100 on there.. Hee Hee
Then I found the awesome gold leaves I bought last year but forgot to use and stuffed them in as filler. We spread sparkly snow tinsel all over and went to town with the wooden cranberries and ice sickles.
In the end we had fun and Love the tree!
Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good night! Were not tired after all that hiking really!
