Saturday we picked out a tree. It is so fun to have kids old enough to get excited, get in the spirit of things and help out.

Daniel also took the kids out for a walk to gather the rest of the Christmas decor. Since we have moved so much I only had a few things, and I still don’t want to have to store a lot of seasonal items, so I thought bringing in some of the wonderful stuff we see outside would be better than anything I could buy. Like evergreens and some red “who knows what” for the front door.


Some neat red twigs. I hope they decide it is spring in our warm house and sprout a few leaves:

These cool red berries. Unfortunately, they are a little off the beaten path (which isn’t so much fun when it is below freezing!) I need to put them somewhere that will show a little more contrast.

And a few cattails for good measure, since they are everywhere when you live near a lake.
