You have to get real close and try not to scare it!

Shooting it down!

Hauling it away

It snowed A LOT!

Missy got tired while waiting, so she snuggled with the Frosty

Our Tree :) Not Finished but it will do for now!

This year was unlike any other year. Instead of going to the FFA for a per-cut Christmas tree we went out hunting for our Christmas tree. Now before you go and say, now that's crazy or that's in humane don't worry it was none of the above. Here's what you need to do. First, you need to obtain a license to cut down a tree, which to my surprise its only $5.00. Now, make sure you have a gun. This is key to your hunting experience and well getting the tree down. The good thing is is that the trees don't run away on you. Next, get a good group of friends together and head up to the towards Cloverland (Adult beverages may be added here but always have a DD). Now that you've arrived at your destination you need to find your tree. Don't be to picky but also be aware of what you want. I wanted a little fuller one but my husband likes the more Charlie Brown looking trees, he got his tree this year. If you found your tree, get up close and fire away! But make sure that if anyone is with you that they are standing behind you...I found this out the hard way. If there is a man available let him be a gentleman and carry your prized tree back to the truck. It is now ready for your holly!

Our Family: The girls in their Christmas Morning Pajamas :)

This weekend was busy but we had a lot of fun. As you can tell we had time for a few pictures. As you may know I love pictures and was so excited about sending out our first Christmas card...a few hours later I see why so many people stop. I shopped a few sites but you never really know what the real price will be until your about to enter your credit card number. After about three hours and almost throwing my computer across the living room (because I couldn't get my pictures to load) I asked my sister in law what she used for her cards. I was shocked to find out that she used Costco. Even more shocked to see that it was only $14.99 for 50 cards! On other sites they were $1.50 per card, you do the math... I'm too tried :) Anyways, after I uploaded my pictures, some of the above and throughout the year and sat back and looked at my creation. It was beautiful! It took just a few minutes and when I checked out I got 4 little calendars for free too. With tax my grand total with envelopes was $16.60. Bet that Vistaprint! Now to write all the address and keep up with finals...
