So Mikes family has a tradition where they go find there own Christmas tree and cut it down. So we decided we would still be there for that tradition. Mikes cute mom bought us a tag so that we could cut down our own christmas tree. I was really excited cause I have never hunted for my own christmas tree. My family just has a fake tree and thats just how its been so, I have never done anything like this. So we went out into the Mountains on a Snowy day with Mikes family and we were ready to look for our tree! Well the snow was really deep and a lot of it the further you got up the worse obviously so we finally decided to stop driving and to just start looking where we were at. Well to make a long story short a car comes flying by us and then the next thing you know he gets stuck so then we try to help him get unstuck and that took a great amount of time. ha Anyways, we start looking for trees and mike and I found our cute little tree! We thought it was so little and perfect. So we cut it down..(I will have pics of that later they are on his phone at the moment) At this point my legs are frozen and my feet feel like they are going to fall off.. it was freezing! At that point no one really cared what the tree looked like we just wanted to get warm! Then Mikes family found there tree and then we tied the trees to the car and were on our way down the mountains! On our way down more people were stuck..I think the majority of our time was helping people get unstuck! It was adventurous and fun and I like that tradition! I think Mike and I will keep that one for sure. So we got our tree up to our house thanks to mikes brother Tim. And we pull our tree inside and the tree that use to be so little all the sudden it was huge!! Our house is little so everything seems bigger in our house. Then we realized the trees branches were all different lengths and so we knew we had to do some trimming to it and make it look pretty. I swear when we cut it down it was perfect...so we went to the store and bought some ornaments and things for our tree. Luckly we got Christmas lights for one of our wedding gifts...yeah at the time I was like umm thats super interesting But they came in handy! So really any gift you get for your wedding will one day come in handy! We got our tree all up and finished! Its fun to have our first tree and our first christmas together! As Always I love my husband he is the best! being married is the bomb!! Now we are on our way to California for Christmas with Mikes family!! Im so excited to just have a little break! Christmas away from home will be weird, I'll miss my family and my families traditions but it will all be so fun!! Heres a few pics...
