New Tradition

Every year Amos complains about our Christmas tree. I really like it to be a certain way. All the ornaments have to match, even the wrapping paper on the presents under the tree have to be a certain color. I know..I'm crazy!

So this year Amos' grandma asked if we would like to go cut a tree with grandpa while in Flaming Gorge. The kids and Amos were really excited! Finally a tree that they can decorate however they would like.

On Friday before we left Amos, Grandpa Hoover, Mike, and the kids went out to look for the perfect tree. All the kids had a blast.

Today we spent the day making ornaments for the tree. Issy was really into it. In fact, she's been making ornaments since we got home Friday night!

Grandma Becky and Grandpa Gil came over to help. Cam and Issy were really excited to decorate the tree with all the ornaments they had made. They asked me if this could be a new tradition, so I guess we will do this every year from now on.
