Holidays have begun!
November 28, 2011The boys and I were looking through all the flyers that have been arriving with the paper lately. “I don’t want a bird poo Christmas tree” Leelee says.

U-Cut Trees at Christmas Creek(North Bend, WA)
November 28, 2010Early Saturday morning we headed up to North Bend Washington to try cutting down a Christmas tree for the very first time.
