Let It Snow

Well we received our first snow about 2 weeks ago then we got a couple inches over the weekend. Ryan thinks the snow is pretty fun. On Monday he was outside with Ben for about 2 hours. Didn't bother him one bit. Me, on the other hand, am not a fan of the snow. The only time I like snow is on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.

We had to go to Theisen's to buy a sled so the boys could do this....

Our land is pretty flat so the 4-wheeler is the best way to have snow fun.

We found our Christmas Tree for 2008!

We started the tradition 3 years ago of going to a Christmas tree farm as a family to find our tree for the Christmas season. I love everything about a fresh tree especially the smell. I can see us continuing to do this for many years to come. The first year we went it took us 2 hours to find the perfect tree, last year it took about an hour, this year Ben drove right to the perfect tree so it took about 10 minutes.

Aldrich Tree Farm near Belmond is where we like to go

Very proud of himself - he did have help though

Grandma also found her tree. It is a tall tree probably the tallest they have ever had.

Decorating

Ryan's idea of decorating is putting all the ornaments on one branch
