Our Christmas Tree

A few weeks ago we went on a little family adventure to cut down our Christmas Tree!  The farm we decided to go to had trees for just $15!  We had a great time going around searching for our tree.  What was great about this farm is that you could drive everywhere to find the tree you wanted, even in through the fields!   It was pretty neat to be able to drive up to the tree you wanted or at least close to it and since it was pretty cold the day we went, it was nice to be able to keep Joel warm in the car.  Here are a few pictures of our tree, before we trimmed it.  

Joel looking pretty cool in the cold!

Uncle Mitch moves to Nashville!

About a week ago Mitch (Chelsie's brother) moved to Nashville, TN for a new job!  The new job was exciting...but the moving away not so much.  My family had a dinner with Mitch to say our good wishes.  I know little-Joel-man is going to miss him.  We had a fun time that night and we are going to miss Uncle Mitch.  Here are a couple of pics we have from that evening.

Bridge, Mitch, Me and Joel

Bridge and Randall Got Mitch a stuffed cat that looks like Signal (my parents crazed, emotional cat) to take with him when he goes to Nashville.  Joel loved it and thought it was a real kitty I think!  He is crazy about animals!
