Oh Christmas Tree...

Gus, Daddy and our tree!

Each Christmas Brent and I have had fun

picking out a tree- some years we have cut one

down from a tree farm. This year we chose a new

tree farm- and we loved it. It had also just snowed-

so it was beautiful out. We will definitly go back to

this farm.
