Huntin' for a tree

We spent the day hunting for a good Noble Fir to erect in the front room and found the perfect specimen right off the side of the road. Traci felt that it was a little "pathetic" (actually she felt that way about most of them) but the rest of us fell in love at first sight. We spent the rest of our time sharing some of Debi's homemade chicken soup, (mmm..!) from out the back of Jim's truck and constructing our snowman, (isn't he beautiful!?).

It was the first time that I had taken part in this

holiday tradition and shall never forget it! It was

the first time that baby had participated too -

I think she shares my feelings as she would not

stop kicking the entire time.

Merry Christmas!

Talk to you soon.
