Christmas Tree Hunting

This is what Jynx looked like the whole way up the mountain. When she heard us say, "Jynx, are you ready?" she barrelled out the door and was ready to go in an instant!!! She loves to go in the car...little did she know she was going to get to do a lot of running and playing in the snow, too!

Daniel and Jynx. We bought her a new Kong Wubba before we left and she walked up and down the hills with that thing in her mouth. It was great! She does pose well for pictures though, don't you think? (Daniel does well, too :))

This year we were able to make it up high enough to where Daniel proposed 2 years ago. Again we tried the self timer pictures. Some are good and some are bad...This one I liked!

This one turned out well, too.

This one is crooked as heck, but it's a cool shot anyway because it's in the same spot he proposed. The pickup was parked about 10 yards away and I had to run to get out to Daniel. On this particular shot, I got to him and slipped. He is nearly literally holding me up. We were laughing. You're welcome for the butt shot of Jynx, too.

We walked into my mom and dad's house with this little tree and told them this was all we could find this year. They laughed. My dad had mentioned the day before that he'd be okay with a Charlie Brown Christmas tree, so Daniel thought this would be funny to give to them. They laughed, too. We really did get them a really big beautiful tree, but for some reason I didn't take a picture of that! Go figure.

This is our tree. We got it up in the stand last night, but I didn't decorate it until tonight. There's a lot of red, especially when you see the red wall behind, but I like it.

See? Jynx loves to pose! You should see all the pictures I have of her in front of this tree. I just picked the best ones! She's smiling at me here, I'm sure of it!

Right before this took, I asked Jynx, "where is it?", talking about her new purple Kong Wubba and she looked right at it. Daniel had put in on the table and she's got it in her sights.

At this point she's thinking, "Okay, seriously mom. You've got to be done soon!" and I was. With her anyway.

This is my Advent Wreath. As you can tell, we have not been good at our Advent devotions, but we're getting there. We'll burn them this week.
