There is nothing better than the wonderful smell of a freshly cut fir tree at Christmas! This past weekend we went to Eric's family's house for thanksgiving and were able to get a christmas tree for $5! It doesn't get better than that!
We had to wrap it for the long drive home.

I decided to try something new this year and I put ribbon on the tree instead of garland. I think it turned out pretty well overall!

So festive and happy!

While we were home, we also went to the zoo lights with my sister Jodi and her family. Here are a few of the pictures that turned out well!


This was my favorite part. They had a whole area set up like a jungle with a stream and hippos, crocodiles and other fun animals!

This was just a section FULL of lights!
It was a fun trip home!!
