Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree...

Today we went out for our third annual Christmas tree farm experience. We go with My Mom and her husband and other Family members. This year my oldest Brother joined us with his wife and four children. It's a bit of a drive, but worth it to us. sleighbells is in Sherwood Oregon with a beautiful view of Mt. Hood behind it. We hike (walk) up a hill full of Christmas trees, cut it down and then the boys shake and bail it and even tie it to your car. There is Christmas music playing, often it's live and a shop for hot coco and other Christmas realted goodies and decorations. We had a little scare when Ella started walking down the steep gravel path which quickly turned into an uncontrollable run followed by a fall. Thankfully she was not hurt, just scared as were Mom and Dad. why is it when our precious little children are about to be in danger do we sometimes just watch it happen like time has come to a halt. Can anyone ironically relate?

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving and continue to have a blessed Christmas season.

Love,

Jennifer

The Pumpkin Patch

Hi family and friends. After monthes of being an anti-blogger, I've decided it could benefit us all. Since we have family out of state and friends all over too, It occured to me today that this would lessen my anxiety and guilt for not keeping in contact. So, look when you can, and to the Horst Family, I think I can set it up where we can all contribute to the blog.

So, our first blog will start off with photos from our trip to the pumpkin patch (which was also my Birthday!) The rest of my family met us there.
