I’m enjoying some peace and quiet for a few minutes. Emily was super cranky this morning so I put her down early for a nap. I had these delusions of grandeur that I was going to get loads of laundry done and finish a bunch of stuff, but then I realized we were out o f dryer sheets and gave up. Funny how a simple excuse can make you give it all up. I just felt like blogging instead.
I think I’m going to keep writing my favorite Christmas memories and traditions to keep me in the Christmas spirit.
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is Christmas Tree Hunting. I’m always sad if we don’t get to go. We usually load up the truck with a saw and all our warm clothes and drive out into the middle of nowhere(yes it is a place up here). We take the dogs and while my dad naps in the truck we hike around in the bush looking for the perfect imperfect Christmas Tree. Some years we pick Pine and others Fir. Gracie loves bounding through the snow, racing around and biting the snow. I have a video we took of the year before last Christmas Tree Adventure. It was such an awesome time. I was 16 weeks pregnant and while we were out hunting I felt the baby move for the very first time. Also, me being prego, meant that every 4 minutes I had to find some brush to pee behind. It was so funny.
We are going Hunting again on Friday. I am really looking forward to it. I’ll have to find my big pack boots. My parents just got a truck, so thats great timing on there part. Way to get a truck right before we go hunting!! There’s a fair bit of snow around already so thats great, because its super fun to try and ambush each other and shake snow from a tree onto the other person. Here’s the Vid: (I apologize for the footage seasickness, but it was filmed with our digital camera instead of our video)
