Christmas Tree Hunting.............

i LOVE this picture--the boys were walking along this fallen tree with their cousin brendan (luke's age).

sis-in-law (allison), my sister (kim), and niece (shayna).

it was a beautiful day in the black hills--snow falling and aspen trees everywhere.......

aha! we found our tree at last!! it's bigger than it looks--over 10 feet tall (our peaks are only 9ft)--we will be cutting from the bottom...not the top! (shut it, siblings!)

this is my dad, jim(also love this picture) pictured without his black lab, sunny......she was real sick that day. she died yesterday.
