Christmas Tree Fun
Aaron and I got a REAL Christmas tree this year, we forgot our fake one at mom and dads when we moved, smooth move. N-e-ways we went to the tree lot and looked around for about 15 minutes and found the perfect one. The guy helped us load it on top of the car then tied the doors shut to keep the tree on so when we got home Aaron had to climb out his window to cut the string to get the tree off. That was really funny. Aaron carried it up the stairs and I did what I do best, staid out of the way, gave a few encouraging laughs, and took some pictures.
Getting it in the stand was a lot more work then I remember as a kid, dad did it with such ease. There were a few branches down low that needed to be cut off so Aaron held the tree while I took a stake knife and sawed away (note to self- get a hand saw;) We didn't have enough lights to cover the at first so we had to put off decorating. While Aaron was at an appointment I decided I would surprise him and have the tree all put together when he got home... I ended up messing up the tree stand and waiting till that weekend for Aaron's help.
Once everything was said and done I LOVE OUR TREE!!! Its the best looking tree we have had since we've been married. Merry Christmas

Catching up with Thanksgiving
So I'm really not so good when it comes to this whole keep the blog updated but here is Thanksgiving and our first REAL Christmas tree. For Thanksgiving Trevor, Sarah, and Lea came to stay with us and we had a blast!!! Lea was a ton of fun and kept us laughing all the time, she is soooo happy all the time and full of smiles for everyone. It was good to have some time to catch up with Trevor and Sarah as well.
One Thanksgiving we went down to Quency for dinner with the family. The plan was to eat at 12:00pm and I think it was about 3:30pm when we all sat down, what can ya do;) Dinner was good and so was the company. Before we left Aaron and I went over and talk to Grandma and Grandpa Reynolds for about an hour and a half. It was so fun to listen to their stories about growing up and how they met. We headed home that night to get ready for Black Friday (yes)
Aaron and I got up at 4:45am (He loves me) and headed to Wal Mart to start and finish out Christmas shopping. We started out a little rough but ended up getting everything on our list and a bit more. I was very impressed with how good Aaron's getting at this shopping thing, I was able to send him off to get some gift and he returned triumphant. I love him!!!
