We have had a great year. December is definitely a month of celebration. We started the month with our traditional trip to get the Christmas tree. We go to a farm outside of Sandy, OR but we ALWAYS have to go to Joe's Donuts on the way. Joe's is famous for great donuts and their huge bear claws. Last year the snow started before Thanksgiving so there were a lot of skiers and snowboarders and the line was outside and around the building. This year it was sunny and green ground. We had the shop to ourselves!!
Next, we headed to the tree farm to choose the perfect tree! It was a beautiful sunny day. We meandered through the field of trees and ended up at the section of trees the farthest away from the barn and our car. It turned out to be a blessing because it was on a little hill and the view of Mt. Hood was incredible!! Did we take a family picture with this stunning backdrop?? No, of course not. My goofy family decided it would be hilarious to take our family picture around a dead tree and use it for our Christmas card! We laughed and had great fun and created another great memory!
Just a week later, the snow started coming down. It doesn't come down very often in our area and it seldom sticks when it does. We had to get out in it as soon as possible. Brad and CJ were out sledding and I decided to through my coat on and go take some pics with Brad's camera. I was still in my pajama pants and Brad insisted that I take a little trip down the hill so he could take a pic. It's a good thing they are flannel and better yet that you can't see them in the picture.
