Well another Thanksgiving weekend has come and gone. This year we had the chance to celebrate Travis' 19th Birthday. Hard to believe that he's 19, again, where has the time gone.
We didn't do the normal shopping this year after Thanksgiving, this year we chose to drive over to Wyoming, (only an 1 hour 30 minute drive) and find our Christmas tree in the forest. You can stop at one of the stations and buy a permit for $10.00 and go up into Ashley National Forest and cut any tree you'd like, max is 12 foot, not a problem for us. There was about a foot or so of snow in the mountains. We finally found ours in a grove of trees at 9500 feet elevation.
After loading it on the car and took off for home, taking some scenic back roads till we finally hit I-80 just East of Evanston WY. I think a fun time was had by all. Only one little misfortune with the tree, last night, we were ready for bed and kids yelled "the tree fell over" so after a little cleaning up all was back to normal.
Trav's Birthday was uneventful, he wanted something homemade for dinner and then Frogurt afterwards. Later that evening he spent it doing College homework.
Have a great Christmas season everyone. More later.
Sue and Dan

Looks like fun! My Christmas tree has fallen over at least five times now. Of course, it usually falls after being pulled on by a certain 15 month old little boy...
