In search of the Perfect Christmas Tree

What makes the perfect Christmas tree.

Jeff: The tallest tree
Ashlie: The fullest tree
Tracie: The perfectly shaped tree
Corrie: A tall tree that is full and perfectly shaped
Austin: A tree taller than me.
Caitlynn and Dalton: The one with the most lights on it. And if they flash that would even be better.


All of our Christmas decorations are still in Idaho, but never fear. Have room... will get Christmas Tree. Ok so we couldn't get the biggest Christmas tree, but nonetheless we do have a Christmas tree. We didn't have the stroller when we went in search of the perfect Christmas tree so we put Caitlynn and Dalton in grocery carts. Wheeling the babies around in grocery carts searching for the perfect Christmas tree was just too funny to me.



And you can tell they weren't too amused by it.
Each year the kids get a special ornament to put on the tree. When they leave home they get to take all their ornaments with them. Austin this year fell in love with this big blue ball. He is pretty tickled with himself.
Our perfect Christmas Tree. It definitely is our smallest tree. It doesn't have our special ornaments on it from years past. But it is special because it created family memories.

It's a beautiful tree!! I really miss you guys. I hope you're getting settled into your new home. It was so sweet that Ashley called Gloria on her birthday! I wish we would have been home.
Love you all!
