It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We got back from Richland last night, slept well, then got up today to go get our tree and decorate the house!  I love this time of year - so fun!  Everything looks so pretty with snow and the house looks festive.  We finished our evening with a surprise, early Christmas gift!  Josh bought the movie "Elf" which we all enjoy so we watched it tonight while we ate dinner.

It was a chilly day, -9 degrees while we chopped down the tree!  But we stayed cozy warm in the house afterwards with our wood stove.  :)

The tree!

It was up a slick, rocky, snowy hill so Josh went on his own to get it.

Easy way to get the tree down...just let it roll!

Shelby did great helping get the tree in the truck.

Vivian's help was giving daddy the tag.  ;)

We all enjoyed decorating the tree and the house!

May the joy of Christmas fill your heart and home.  The joy of Christmas is the birth of Jesus!  His birth, life, death and resurrection on this earth make it possible for us to live by faith and to one day spend eternal life in Heaven.  Hallelujah!  What a Savior!
