Christmas Season is upon us

You know Christmas is coming when you have to start helping out on the Kraus Tree Farm!

We usually are out at my parents house for a couple weekends to help with their tree farm.  This year they are only doing two weekends and mostly it is people that they know that come out to get trees.  Lots of friends and family and a few people that just happen to come across their property.

I make wreaths to sell out there too.  There is always hot cocoa by the fire pit and lots of conversation, tractor rides and of course tree cutting!



Here's hoping your holiday season is merry and jolly!!!

And after a little bit of work and talking through with the people at Lowe's we made it happen.  The boys, Brad and I then painted a white "primer" coat on the desk to cover the blue and red.  Here were are starting our proj...

Peacock Lane

We took a trip to a local Christmas Landmark- Peacock Lane.  It is in Portland.  Every house on the lane decorates with Christmas lights.  Several do amazing things! I had not been since I was younger.  I had wanted to take the kids in the past couple years, but we just did not make it. We had a clear, dry night and took advantage. :)
