Christmas Tree

This year was the easiest year I have ever been Christmas tree hunting.  Last year was easy too – but I didn’t go because I stayed home with baby Timberlyn.  Anyway, this year was easy because Leonard said – “There’s a tree at the edge of the field that I think would be good for a Christmas tree.”  We bundled up all the kids, walked to the edge of the field – which was dry because there was no snow on the ground yet – found the tree, decided it was good, cut it, and drug it home.  I forgot my camera so we didn’t get a picture until it was decorated. 

It is a fantastic tree.  I think it is the fullest tree we have ever cut ourselves.  It’s only flaw is that it only has three sides – but you can’t tell because it fits perfect in the corner of our dining room.  We did learn that a three-sided tree doesn’t really like to stand upright.  But a little fishing line tied around it and then stapled to the wall fixed that problem pretty quick.  One of the benefits of log walls -- no one cares if there are a few more holes!  The tree looked great!  See for yourself!

Awesome, huh!  Love the smell of fresh cut pine.  Then, right before church one Sunday I took pictures of the kids in their new Christmas wear.

How did I get such good looking kids?  What a family I have!  I am so blessed!
