Christmas lights

Well, my lights outside are all up...actually I've had them up since the 1st or 2nd. I was just going to buy the colored lights this year and then do the icicles next year, but when I went to go buy them, they sell them all together these days...so I bought just enough to go around the front and then next year will have to find more. Hopefully they'll be on sale after Christmas.



I also, with the help of the Halgren kids and Margo got my tree all decorated last Monday. I even have one present underneath already. I can hardly wait for all of my homework to be done so I can start my Christmas baking. It will be a great year. I also enjoyed the 1st Presidency fireside last night with Mae. It's just the thing to start the Christmas mood on the right foot, to recognize the Light of Christmas.

Tree hunting

I went up on Saturday to pick out my very own Christmas tree with Martha and Blair's family. I had a lot of fun and found a tree just right for my little house. It was fun to go up hiking and pick out the tree. I even carried it down the hill all by myself.



When I got it home I didn't even have to cut anything else off of it, it was just the right size.



Sarah really enjoyed herself, that is, until it was time to go home and she was absolutely exhausted. Then she was miserable. All in all, however, a great time was had by all and I have my very first real tree. Imagine, only $5 for all of this fun and enjoyment.
