Giving Thanks for Food, Friends, Festivities, and Friday

Thanksgiving this year was so great! Paul has a cousin who lives in Utah who came up with his wife and two boys and we had a blast. Evan and Brigitte are always fun to be around! We had Thanksgiving, Brigitte and I pulled off our first Black Friday ever for shopping (which has hooked me for every year from here on out! So fun and worth it!), we went and visited with bishop Palmer to reminisce about the good ol' days (where we met up with Jake and Kacie too!), and then we went to cut our Christmas tree for the season! We had a blast decorating the tree with the girls. They even cut their own little tree that they put in their room. I just love this holiday season!

Thanks for my husband, Paul

How fun for your family! Your husband is tall! I'm curious about the whole cutting down your own tree thing. Where do you go? How do you do it? Do you have to get a permit? How much is it?

p.s. Why on earth are you up at 5:30 in the am??!

I don't know why, but I thought you lived in Utah! I can't believe how CHEAP that is for a tree!! Thanks for the info. We would love to join you guys sometime in the future to learn from the pros!
