We also had a very important task to perform while we were up at the cabin-- a Christmas tree had to be found! So off we went in hunt of the perfect Christmas tree! We loaded into the truck, the four wheeler and the snowmobiles and started the hunt. Here are a few pictures!
Joel and Jason looking for daddy who was off playing on the four wheeler! This is one of Joel's favorite things!
This is Joel's other favorite thing and asks for the four wheeler at least 3 times a day! Oh, and we found daddy too!
And now, for the perfect tree! We found this beauty which someone hit with the snowmobile in it's youth and has a split trunk which makes it fairly full for a lodge pole pine from Island Park!
More pictures in front of the tree!
All the boys that were helping
And the cutting process begins!
Timber!
Joel and Jason
Mommy wanted to try this crazy thing and get Joel to sit in front of the tree and smile. Well, I got the sit in front of the tree- but someone would not smile! He kept looking at me like I was crazy-- which may as well be accurate- but still-- mommy needed a smile!
Hauling the tree to the truck
Joel and Allen-- and finally a smile from the kid! Who knew - all it took was dog!
That was our Thanksgiving weekend and the hunt for the perfect Christmas Tree-- which we now have to fit in the house-- thank goodness for vaulted ceilings!!!! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!!

Joel is a cutie. And what a tree! I absolutely love the smell of fresh Christmas trees.
