It's all real, baby!

BIG NEWS:
I was called to be the Primary President in
our new ward. Yesterday was my first day
and it was fun! My counselors and I wore
silly Christmas socks and stood behind the
chalkboard. The kids had to ask us questions
and then try to figure out who we were.
Darn these thick dutch ankles!
Sydney knew who I was right away! :0)

Between getting ready for that big announcement,
making the decorations for the ward party, &
girls camp responsibilities, my kids are lucky
we were able to squeeze in enough time to go
tree shopping. I'm putting ink to paper on this...
I WILL NEVER OWN A FAKE CHRISTMAS TREE!
There is nothing like the smell of a real tree.
Doing the shopping for it is quick and easy
around here. We buy a Noble Fir every year.

My garland & half of our ornaments are being used
to decorate the trees at the church for the party
on Friday. After that's over, I will take a full view
shot of the tree. As of now it looks a little boring.

Jason stepped away from watching football
yesterday to have his picture taken 'decorating'
the tree. He is even wearing a paper bracelet
Ty had made for him. He knows how to make
himself look good. :0) Silly dad!

After decorating the tree, Summer let us make some
of the cookies she had the Sedona Ward kids make
while she babysat on Saturday night. They paid her
to help her raise money for her NYC trip.
Nutterbutters, Pretzels, Frosting, & M&Ms= Cute!
