Annual Christmas Tree Hunt

Every year we go to Strawberry Reservoir with my family and cut christmas trees. The men gather wood and build a fire, the women make lunch (well, my sister, Sharon makes lunch - thanks Sharon!), and the kids sled and play in the snow. Tor missed it this year because he was in Norway (again!), so my brother-in-law, Mike, cut a tree for us. Thanks, Mike! It's such a great tradition, and we always have a good time together.
