Last minute - December 24, 2018
I made ornaments for each of us this year. Meta and I picked up pinecones on our walk to school on Wednesday. Then I crocheted all the hats and scarves. I assembled the ornaments today (Monday) and we hung them on the tree. I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.
Santa's been here. Had his cookies and milk. Stuffed stockings, put out presents, fed carrots to the reindeer.
Lincoln told me that Rudolph is not a real reindeer. He's just a story. But he thinks the rest of the reindeer are enough to get Santa through the night. He's always been aware of "Santa Helpers" at different events. We've told him Santa is too busy to do everything and he needs helpers. Same with the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy.

Christmas Tree 🌲 hunting
From leaving the truck to returning with a tree, it took about an hour and a half. It snowed lightly the entire time and it got dark while we sawed down the tree. Lincoln and Meta loved playing in the snow and took turns helping James with the saw. Sierra was snuggled up in her fuzzy pink bear suit and she slept through most of the excitement.
We would have had more time to play in the snow, but it took too long to get ready to go after church. I packed enough food for a three day weekend rather than a half-an-hour drive. We parked just off the highway (toward Mt. Bachelor) on a forest service road that is currently closed to motorized vehicles. Then we tromped around in the woods looking at potential trees. Thank goodness for our tracks in the snow and the highway noise. In the darkness, I was pretty disoriented. Meta was tired of walking through the snow by the time we got back to the truck. There was some suncrust underneath fresh snow and it was tiring for short little legs.
We enjoyed peppermint hot chocolate and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches while James secured the tree in the back of the truck. All the rest of the "emergency" food just drove back down the mountain with us again. Better prepared than not!

This family blanket from Kurt and Carlee's family is fuzzy, soft, awesome!
The top photo is our family at the Alaska/Canada border last month. In the middle are Lincoln on a trampoline, our family in front of our new house taken this month, and Meta with a doll. The bottom photo is from Father's Day this year. What fun!

Such fun Idaho goodies! (I have sweet potatoes in the fridge, going to try some potato recipies on those.) And the quick-inflate/blue banana chair is going to be so fun. Thank you Davis Family.

Sibling gifts - Lincoln chose a singing microphone for Meta. Meta chose a Paw Patrol lunchbox for Lincoln.
