Saturday was the Vielehr family annual Xmas tree hunt, Chris and I met my family and other friends at our property West of Boulder. There were about 20 people with us and we ended up cutting about 10-12 trees total. It might sound like a lot of trees to cut, but on the 10 acre parcel there are a lot of trees growing into each other, so our cutting actually helps some of the other trees grow as well as with fire mitigation. Chris ended up getting a tree about 8-9 feet tall, mine was closer to 12-14 feet. We got them loaded on the Land Cruiser and headed home. My tree was so heavy that Chris had to help me carry it in to the house, luckily it fit. Next is the hard part, decorating it.
