December …flying right by

 

First our traditional trip to the tree farm up in the mountains. It started out as a ‘maybe it will snow trip’….

 

Once out of the car the snow started to fall.  We took the wagon ride up the mountain, and wammmo huge snow beautiful snow flakes dropping out of the sky.  ..non stop.  We did our best attempt at looking for a tree quickly.

We had to get on and ride it a mile back down the trail.  We were nervous.  IMG_0361IMG_0355

I would post a pic of the tree, but it looks pitiful this year, not much ion the way of decorations on it, as the boys cant keep their hands off of it.  :(

 

    These pics are from the monster truck – tires- at the entrance to the tree farm…random?  Yes!

Had a yummy little cake, the kids enjoyed, and a nice quiet dinner out with my man.  Grammy came over and watched the kids and it was great!

And my favorite part of the holidays, crafts and baking!

Here is a sign I found to hang stockings on, I found it here.  So many cute bloggers out there share their ideas!  I love it!
