Christmas Tree

"Before picture"
Every year we get together with some friends and go on a "Christmas tree hunt" There are 3 families and between us all there are 9 kids...so this was the first year in a long time that one of us ladies wasn't pregnant!! For the past couple years we trudged through the pouring rain...so it was fun this year to actually have snow to hike through and play in as we found "the one". It was pretty cold.. so when you'd try to shake some snow off to give the tree a look...most of it stayed frozen to the tree...so all the trees got good and shook up until we found "the one".

The tree had to thaw out for a day before we could decorate it...but it got done just before bedtime on Sunday....and after I'm not sure how many pictures...we finally "captured" everyone with our decorated treee ;)

"After pictures"

Either people had mouths open, deer-in-the-headlights eyes...or whatever these crazy faces the girls are making.

But all in all...it doesn't matter...we were having fun doing it and all the kids were happy...and the tree is now decorated -- and helps remind us of the real Light of the World- Jesus!!
