Thanksgiving in Colorado

This year for Thanksgiving we changed it up a bit and headed to Colorado to see our good friends for Thanksgiving. After living in Colorado, I realized (once I left) that I left a beautiful place and love to visit as often as I can. They have a family tradition of cutting down a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving and since that too has been a tradition in our family, we joined in!
The kids did great, for about the first three hours... then they got restless!
All three trucks got stuck multiple times from the slick, wet, melting snow so it took far longer than expected to get our trees.
The kids stayed busy sledding, making igloos, four wheeling, and drinking hot cocoa.
It took forever all day to get everyone unstuck and off the side of a cliff! Scary at times but what a memorable Thanksgiving!
