Decorating Time

 Today we are going to decorate the tree with lights and ornaments. The fabfive kids drew straws to see who got to put the topper on. Haley had the longest, then Luke, and Ellie had the shortest straw. That was the order of who gets to do the topper. When Haley put the topper on the tree it  tipped towards her so now Paul and Tracie have to fix it.

Cutting Down Our Christmas Tree

READY TO CUT?!?

On November 29th, the fabfive family cut down there first tree together! We went to the Wilson Tree Farm to get it.  The "man in charge" gave us a really nice tour of what each kind of tree is. Then we set out trying to find a tree. 

About 10 minutes later we found the perfect tree. We think it was a Douglas Fir. Everybody took turns cutting it. That was fun.  

WATCH OUT FOR MY THUMB!!!

Next we went inside the gift shop to go get some hot cocoa, a candy cane and a ornament while the people who work there wrap up our tree. We had a very fun experience at that tree farm.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Happy Thanksgiving to all.  We had a wonderful belated Thanksgiving today with our family (Ellie, Luke, Haley, Tracie and Paul)...along with Marcia, Don, Ben, Sue and Manny. Tracie made a full turkey dinner with stuffing, mashed potatoes and the works.  It was wonderful and a total hit!  (She's a great cook...along with being a babe.)
