Christmas Tree Hunting



Today, Mike, James, Grandpa Roger, and I headed out into the Beautiful Deschutes Wilderness area to find that O-So-Important symbol of Christmas - our tree! Mike could spend a lifetime looking for the "perfect" tree, but we managed to find a great Noble Fir tree in a few hours time! We scaled it down a bit this year - only about 10 feet or so instead of the 15 foot monster of last year!! The tradition of picking a Christmas Tree is extra special here in Bend where we are so close to the wilderness!

Friday night was family night to see Santa at the Alyce Hatch Center. It was very crowded, so we only got to see Santa from a distance, but Kelsey thoroughly enjoyed the cupcake walk in her classroom!
