Christmas tree!

Well, we FINALLY got our Christmas tree up and ready for the year, but I don't have pics on my computer yet. I'll have to have Brandon M downlaod them from his camera (he took some decorating it) and Sam needs to download the cutting ones so that we can put some up. It was fun!! We took the snowmobiles out and went back into the middle of nowhere and found a lot of great Charlie Brown trees. I was getting pretty dicouraged... I wanted a more full tree because 1. that's how they're supposed to be, and 2. we actually had room for a big one! Anyway, after a few hours of riding (well, Sam was driving and I was riding... except for the 8 times he dumped me into the snow, but who's counting...) we finally found some great trees. It was funny to read Michelle's post and see that there was no snow, then compare it to ours and I was walking through snow that came up past my knees. To check out the trees. It was nuts. Sam's coworker and his girlfriend came with us. They're about the same age as us, and we had fun getting to know them better. They're pretty funny. I can see why Sam has a ball with him at work... the stories he comes home with... oh man! It's great. So anyway, it was great to get out all my old ornaments from growing up and going through them. I think that's one of my favorite parts about decorating the tree. All the ornaments from when I was younger bring back memories, and it's so cool. Expecially this year, being able to share them with Sam. I'm so lucky... he's so great! :)
