December 10th, Saturday

Today was a big day, we left to get our Christmas tree at 7:30 a.m. in the morning. Blake could not go he had wrestling match in Marsh Valley. We had to go early because Jordin had a game at 11:30 and Ty wanted to get to the auction at the mall. We made it all happen. Blake reported in a few minutes ago, he lost two matches and won one. It was a good day . It is now 5 p.m. and Blake is on his way home, mom just finished decorating the tree, Ty has his trailer parked in the back yard, and we are getting ready to go out to dinner.Here is our group today! It was fun not rushed and a great time. Dil and Tess had to get home to prep for a ward dinner tonight.
Pics of the area. We went to Knox Canyon and drove about 3 miles or so up the canyon. There was no snow until we entered the mouth of the canyon.
Tessa, Lucy and Dillon. Mom was holding S.J.
We hiked in about 200 yards off the road. Note to self bring snowmobiles next year and stay longer...
Mom and the precious S.J.
Jordin and Lucy playing in the snow.
We-uns.
The kids sporting their tree. What a catch!
Here is our once again C.B. tree.
Hauling out..
Tessa pointing to Ty and Alyona coming down the opposite side of mountain with their tree.
I think the limit was 12 ft. and this might be a little over that ... who knows at this point.
Tree is loaded!
Picture of the group..
and again...

Here is the trailer that we went to the auction on. Ty bid $ 300 dollars and ended up with this 25 ft Shasta trailer. It needs a little work but for the money it was a steal!

Inside needs a little work. The previous owner had modified the back so it would hold tools. But it is not bad. We check the lights, pump and the rest needs to be checked out.
Furnace and water heater need checked as well as the stove and oven. Memorial weekend here we come!!
