We enjoy our family tradition of finding a Christmas tree in the mountains and then heading to West Jefferson for lunch and shopping. Another stop along the way is the Ashe Cheese Factory. They always have yummy goodies for us to bring home. On this year's trip we were greeted by beautiful snow. As soon as we turned off of Hwy. 421 it began to flurry and then by the time we were less than a mile from the main highway it was really coming down. What a way to get in the Christmas spirit! It didn't take us long to find our trees and head into West Jefferson. That was a scary trip and in hindsight we probably should have headed home instead but we do like tradition and we weren't finished with our adventure yet. We slid a couple of times, sideways, going down the mountain but luckily we weren't anywhere that there was much of a risk of us ending up down that mountain. The girls, of course, thought the sliding around was fun but Noah and I were a little on edge. I asked the girls to find a tree that was their height and they both came through. Savanna then found the one she wanted to take home. Unfortunately, it was as tall as our house so that wouldn't work. I would say that we found the perfect one for our new house!
