Christmas Tree


We are so grown up! We got our first Christmas Tree as grown ups today at a cut your own Christmas tree farm outside of Portland. There are so few options here in Portland, what with the shortage on trees and everything...there were tree farms every 1/2 mile on both sides of the street. It was a lot easier than I thought that it would be but I only got 1/3 of the way through it before I had to let Aaron take over. So we brought it home and decorated it. It is so pretty! We are very proud of our creation. The cats LOVE it, I wonder how long until one of them (Steve) knocks it over. I am especially enthralled with the tree topper - Aaron picked it out :) Merry Christmas everyone.

Blog virgin

Okay, so I am new to this and I guess it is the more mature and responsible thing to do. I don't want to be in the under 25 age group that still checks their MySpace account...eeewww, who does that? ;)

We don't have much news from here on the Oregon front.

Just spent a lovely Thanksgiving Day at my boss' house, she hosts the "orphan" children for the holidays. I was full before we got to dinner so I didn't finish my plate. I didn't eat any mashed potatoes this year because they used margarine...thanks Dad. I just can't do it, it doesn't even taste the same any more.

Love everyone and we will post more and get some pics up soon.
