We headed up above Red Lodge yesterday with some friends in search of the "perfect" Christmas tree. Grady and I never agree when it comes to these, but the chili was made, the hot cocoa was packed, and winter gear was in tow. It was raining pretty good here, so we were sure that we would be stomping through some beautiful snow up there. BUT, to our amazement, it was the PERFECT day for us to do this. The weather was so warm that we used sweatshirts and no snow pants. Well, Myles could have used the snowpants....his others would have stayed drier, but we had a blast.
Here's a few photos from our adventure:
Setting out with tummies full of yummies!
While Grady was scoping out the prospective tree, the kids were warming up and settling down:
Here's the one..... from across the creek.
Yep, it was within the height limits and within our ceiling limits (well, close enough), so....
...it had to come down and HOME!
Jasey and I were concerned with it sticking so far out of their truck, but we managed to get it to the candy store in town and home!

AWESOME!! I wish we did the "real tree" thing! We only did it one year and have had artificial thereafter. I miss the real tree . . . the smell is the best! Enjoy the magic of the season!
I'm glad we shared this good day. I hope your huge tree stays up! Thanks for the chili.
