Tree Hunting with Warners

We have some wonderful holiday traditions with the Warners and tree hunting goes back a long way. The first time we headed to the hills together, both Amy and I were pregnant with our firsts. The trips have gotten more involved since then...
Today we headed to the Blues in search of our trees. We found snow as well!
The kids went on hikes, built forts, and enjoyed the sled.
The mini slope near our camp was adequate and they were able to enjoy sledding down the hill over and over again.
The weather was warm enough that we didn't freeze, either, which was a bonus.
Still, we needed a fire to roast our hot dogs.
Avery, Mitch, Quinn and Shan getting in on the lunch action.
Cade chowed, too!
Poor Quinn forgot his boots and had to take frozen foot time outs. Kirby toasted his socks in an attempt to ward off frostbite.
We trudged around the hill in search of the perfect tree. There was no Griswald moment of tree glory, but we managed to find one we will love.
  Bryan cut it and hauled it back to base.
It's beginning to look - and feel - a lot like Christmas!
