The other day, Keith called and said we were going to go with our friends Wendy and Ross and their girls to go cut a Christmas tree. I was so excited! It would be our first Real Christmas tree that we got to go cut ourselves! We have a fake one that we have had since we first got married but I have always wanted a real tree. But since I decorate my house in October getting a real tree is not really do able. This year I decorated in October as usual ( I find that I enjoy the season more if I start early.Less Stress). Our house has been festive and I have enjoyed it but I didn't think we would get a real tree. I thought maybe i would make a wreath out of real branches. Anyways, Keith came home and said lets go! So we all of us dressed in our snow gear and headed out on our snow-machine. It was interesting going since there is about 4 feet of snow. We kept getting stuck. But I figured we better have fun even when getting stuck so I would strike up the Christmas songs. The kids had fun and I thought it was so awesome! we found 2 very pretty trees. Here are some pictures of our tree hunting!
I like this tree!

Aw! Does your whle house smell wonderful? It's woverwe! We went to a tree farm in Manvel to cut our tree this year, but to me they did not look so good. I am too used to perfectly shaped fake trees. Hmmmm.....sounds like a sermon to me...
