What an adventure. We went Christmas Tree cutting in the Mogollion Rim, outside of Payson, AZ. For weeks, Kevin had been watching the weather and the reports kept saying perfect weather in the 60's, not a cloud in the forcast, and now snow on the ground. So our logical planning was not to bring any of our snow gear, since space is always an issue with us. What a suprise it was when we got to our Destination, and there was a foot of snow on the ground, and blizzard like conditions. The snow was coming down so hard we couldn't see infront of us, and boy was it chilly. Needless to say we all got soaked, and froze, the babies and I stayed in the car, and Kevin and the big boys went and looked for the perfect tree, along with Grandpa, Grandma, and cousin Stephanie. The sun was setting and we still hadn't found a tree so I went out with Kevin, and we found the perfect tree, cold and darkness can quicken a decision. Our tree was absolutely beautiful, all 14 feet of it. We spent the night in Payson, and headed home the next day, with our tree tied to the top. We set up our tree on Sunday, and boy was it BIG, it did not seem that big in the forest, but it did fit all our ornaments on it. What fun we had decorating it, Kendall was such a big helper putting up the lights, it was a little heavy on the bottom, but nothing the tree could not handle.
