Happy Holidays!

Devin, Collin, and I at Haag Tree Farm  looking for the perfect tree.

My husband, Tim and boys carrying the tree.  It looked small in the field and was  actually 10 feet tall.  Unfortunately, it was difficult to maneuver into the tree stand and ended up falling over the next day.  Next year we will look for a smaller tree.

Enjoy the winter break with your family and friends.  I wish you all peace, happiness, prosperity, and health in 2014!
