The Erwin family has the tradition to cut down your own christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving. Zak's work schedule allowed us to go this year! So Saturday we drove to Montpeiler Idaho to Darren and Angela's family cabin. We treked out into the woods with our Forest Service permit in search of the perfect "Griswald" family Christmas tree!
We found ourselves a little beauty!
Thanks to the Erwin's (especially DJ and Angela)
for inviting us on this
very fun, snowy and cold adventure!
Landon's OWN tree- he was so proud--it had to make the trip home with us!

Don't ask--but there was a slight fiasco keeping the tree on top of the car!Let's just say it involved a sheriff, Zak trying to hold the tree out the car window,
and finally resorting to using my scarf as rope--since we had none!
Merry Christmas Everyone!(PS-Connor was in the warm and toasty cabin
with Grammy Pat)

Who doesn't rope down their roof cargo? Well, I guess the scarf is definitely a cooler way to go. Cute tree.
We did rope it down--but Zak's crazy brother didn't do a good job and so 1 tree kept sliding off! This is when the scarf came into play!
cant wait to see it and hear the story in person- sounds like you need an engineer to tie it down- ours stayed put!
