And Mike and Abby ready to leave on their big tractor ride to the farm. Well Mike had already been riding in it for two hours. Abby was just getting a lift from our place to the farm which is just down the road.

And finally, looking for a fun and easy craft project for your 25 days of Christmas challenge? This past week at kids club Abby made this wreath out of used Christmas cards. Cute isn't it?

That is a cute tree!! And YAY for men and tractors. :) lol And that is a cute craft idea. How are they all stuck together? Just with glue??

Betsy - Yep, just a dab of glue. I think she may have used the glue gun for it.

I LOVE that little tree; it is adorable. Is it really purple?? It looks pink in the photo. I saw pink ones at Michaels. I'd love to get a pink tree! I wonder if Davey would go for that? Probably not (not for the main one...). But it is So cute! Ours is a huge, wide, fake monstousity. I do not like it. I want a new one this year!!! Maybe we'll go real.

First... you went to Michaels and didn't tell me? What did you get?

Yep it's purple. Well a light mauve to be exact. It's only a little three foot one. Perfect size for Abby's room. I'll likely get one for Maya when she's a bit older.

And real is definitely the way to go. We always get ours at Davis' on the hwy. He has nice trees.

Ahh...nothin' exciting. I had to get pencil crayons for my drafting class.

I think we are sticking with the old one for now (since it is free). I think if I just get some new decorations for it, it will be better (we had all gold and red before...which I didn't like. I like blue and silver better...and BLUE lights...not yellow).
