Christmas Trees


We have lots of snow at the cabin.



Derek even struggled walking through it.




We went up Henderson to find the trees.  We walked around looking for trees for a long time. 
We had to shake the snow off the trees and then decide if we liked them or not - we must have shaken snow off about 100 trees Derek thinks.  Then we tied a rope to the ends of the trees and Derek and I each drug 2 trees back to his pickup.  It took about 1 1/2 hours to pick them out and another 1/2 hour to drag them out.  I was really glad to get back to Derek's pickup and head home.  Dad didn't even have to come and pull us out of a snowbank.  Derek delivered a tree to Lance and Wendy and just got home at 5pm. 

Thanks Derek for getting our trees - you are AWESOME!


Here I am trying to haul the trees like a pack horse. 
I didn't go as fast as Derek, but I made it!

  1. You did great Becky and Derek. I'm sorry it took such an effort to get them this year. I know Dad and I really appreciate the one you got for us. Look at my blog.

  2. I love the pictures of you and Derek in the snow. I can't believe that the snow is that deep. We had semi-greenish grass outside. That's all.
