The biggest Tradition everyone knows about us is Christmas Tree's! Daniel's family has had this tradition for at least three generations ( now four!)! They go into the woods in early fall and cut down thousands of different kinds of Christmas tree's to wholesale all over Montana, Idaho, and Utah! They litteraly walk and drive "Old Blue" ( The 1979 blue ford) all over mountian sides with chain saws. When they find the right look they cut it down! Then, they haul all the tree's back to a central point and then throw them up on a trailer! VERY physical! Some times it has already snowed! Which adds to the work!
I have done it to prove myslef when we were engaged. And then again after I had Dallin to prove to myslef I could still do it! When Dan and I were dating people would come up to him in the Branch and tell him about his Grandpa cutting Christmas tree's! Dan has always talked about taking Dallin when He was old enough and this was the year! Dallin had a great time bonding with his Dad and Papa Ed! And also adding to the memories of this tradition! Every year we have the most incredible Christmas tree! Dan usually go's out and picks ours out by the 1st of November! As you could probably guess Christmas is the time of year we can't wait for!!
