CHRISTmas tree

We went to a CHRISTmas tree farm and got our tree. It was the first time for everyone, but me. It was great to see the kids so excited in finding a tree.


You take a hay ride thru the farm, they tell ya what's what, and then drop you off at what type of tree you want.

Sawing the tree.

"Hey, can you possibly put down the camera and help me?" hehe
"Cheese, let's go, it's COLD!" (and some people left their coats in the vehicle)

And..... LIFT. hehe

Going back with our new tree :)

Puttin on the ornaments (or if you're Mark, taking them off)

The lights

An ornament that was on my tree for years. My grandma got it for me when I was little (it has my name on the moon)

Our tree (for now)

Our tree won't be done for a while, but I did want to post our trip. My parents are bringing some ornaments from their house to put on it and I'm also going to be putting on some from L's grandma's. I'll post some pics once all that gets done.

Pin reversal

Good Information to have as the holidays are approaching

PIN NUMBER REVERSAL (GOOD TO KNOW)
If you should ever be forced by a robber to withdraw money from an ATM machine, you can notify the police by entering your Pin # in reverse.

For example if your pin number is 1234 then you would put in 4321. The ATM recognizes that your pin number is backwards from the ATM card you placed in the machine.

The machine will still give you the money you requested, but unknown to the robber, the police will be immediately dispatched to help you.

This information was recently broadcasted on TV and it states that it is seldom usedbecause people don't know it exists.

My Thanksgiving food

We had a fish fry for Thanksgiving. We had fish (bunch of different kind), french fries, hushpuppies, onions rings, and cookies. Although it was different, we had a blessed day.

I caught him trying the food :)

"Blue Blob"

I was proud of him. He acted very well while we were there. I guess he's just so used to having to have so much done to him (my poor baby) that he's not really bothered by it anymore.
