Whew... Holidays are rough!

By the second week in December it seems like time just gives up and we are sucked into non-stop until after the holiday! My stepson arrived on Thursday and we have been really enjoying his company.  We took him to pick out a tree - his first real one! We went to a local tree farm and he got to pick it out and D chopped it down (how manly) - Douglas thought the process of the auto tree shaker and the tree bagging system were so cool too!

He really did pick out a fantastic tree! It was the kind with the REALLY nasty firm needles tough OUCH! We had to wear gloves to decorate it! lol

Hope you all are enjoying the season!

hugs!
