The Annual Christmas Tree Hunt!

It's a Piper family tradition. Every year we, along with family and friends, make a trek up into the mountains to find that perfect Christmas tree. It is something the whole family looks forward to...but not for the reasons you might think... Lizzy loves to run around the hill...
Timothy is hiding from his brothers in the annual Piper Boy game of Hide and Go Seek (the real reason the Piper Boys like to go on a Christmas Tree Hunt!)
And spending time with family makes this day so special!

Oh, and of course I actually like looking for a Christmas Tree. Jeff does too. Although after about 10 minutes, the trees look pretty much the same...

And this was our pick for 2010!
(Can't you hear the Hallelujah Chorus singing in the background?)

We needed Brennen's approval before the final "cut". His face says it all...this one is a winner!
The tree is cut. Jeffrey and his dad carry it back to the van to load it on the roof...
...but not without Lizzy's help!

And now it is wrapped up nice and snug for the journey to the Piper living room!
