Alright, enough talk about turkey. Let's move on to Christmas.
We will be picking out our X-Mas tree this weekend -- it's great because the tree farm, Montandon Acres, is right across the street. Plus they have a tire swing and various animals running around. And they drill the trees to fit our stand. Love 'em.
