Much to my dismay, we didn't get a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving.. Or for that matter, the day after Halloween. :) jk. Anyway~ we were going to get ours on Thursday night, but we were feeling lazy so Jonathan said, "let's just get it on Sunday." And lucky we waited, because on Friday Melody called and said she works with a lady who lives in San Isabel forest (about 30 min outside Pueblo) that has an overabundance of trees that she needed to get rid of. So today, Jonathan, Amelia and I, and Melody and Tom bundled up and loaded up in the car for a short trip to the forest. We had a great time, got a tree for free, and made better memories doing it than going to Home Depot. Yay.
Amelia yawning from the beginning, turned into a few tantrums later, and a snooze on the way home.

Can you spot Jonathan in the midst of all those trees??
Melody having a wonderful day.. until she fell down the hill a little bit :(
Checking out a hole in the frozen creek. The water running underneath was so beautiful.
"Brrrrrr."
Our beautiful tree!
Funny how the tree looked so big in the forest, but pretty tiny in our living room. :)
There's just nothing quite like cutting down your own Christmas tree! What a wonderful day! Happy holidays everyone!

I'll give you 3 guesses.. But the first 2 don't count.
Keeping it in the black.
