The Perfect Christmas Tree

Now that Thanks Giving is over our family headed out to Yost, on a quest to find the “perfect” Christmas tree. Our day began with a Grand Slam Breakfast from Denny’s.
We then all loaded in the Tahoe; we were gone about 15 minutes when the first question came, “Are we there yet” soon after Wyatt and Oaklie had a nap. After about an hour drive we arrived to One Mile Canyon. We headed back into the cedars where we started running into all kinds of wildlife; we saw several deer and some rabbits. We started seeing a few pine trees. Steffanie and Oaklie were walking through the trees to see if they could find the perfect tree when the rest of us heard a scream come from Steffanie and Oaklie. We looked up in time to see a rabbit running away from them. Steffanie said that it tried to attack, all I could see was a rabbit running for its life. After what seemed like 4 hrs and 200 trees later, the perfect tree was spotted. After a short photo shoot, the tree was cut down and loaded on the Tahoe.(yes just call us the Griswalds) We were heading home going down One Mile when we ran into a heard of deer eating on the side of the road. We then noticed that there was a pretty nice buck with them. He was a 4x4 with about a 24” spread. We were taking some pictures of him when they started to move. This buck was having a hard time walking, he had a bad limp. He was probably wounded in the deer hunt last Oct. We all had a fun time and came home excited for Christmas.

Halloween 2008

Once upon a time there were 3 Little Pigs and a Big Bad Wolf on Halloween night. The wolf didn’t eat the pigs because he had so much candy to eat. Everyone had fun except pig #3. She had a bad ear and didn’t feel well for Halloween. We started off the night at Sister Zundels home. The kids love to go there for pictures and she gives them lots of treats. We met up with the Wise’s for Trunk or Treating (Thanks Guys) Next it was on to Uncle Codys. We fed Linus and the other animals and then ate Cody’s awesome caramel popcorn and doughnuts. We visited Papa and then went to Nikki’s for soup and fun games with the big FAM, Marti, Mindee their families and Gma Roche. Nikki is the best party host. Thanks Nikki it was SPOOKTACULAR! The wolf and little pigs are now back to their arguing and piggy #3 went to the Dr. and is feeling much better.
