What a week

Well, it's been a busy week around here. Last weekend we went with Russ, Katie, and family to get our Christmas trees. We really wanted to cut our own, so we drove quite a ways to a farm we thought was good for cutting. What a disappointment. We searched for over an hour to find the perfect tree. Then we looked for another hour for a suitable tree. Then we went to their pre-cut lot. What a racket. They cut all the nice trees to sell for double the cut your own price.
We did end up finding a nice tree there. We got it home and Brayden went nuts with the decorations. That kid has more Christmas spirit than I've ever seen. He loves decorating, helps wrap presents, and even helped Susie build a gingerbread house.
We got our first big snowfall of the year. We spent a lot of time outside as the snow fell. Susie, Brayden, and I all worked hard to get the driveway shoveled, then we spent the rest of our time sledding down our front hill.
We've had a great week, but I don't know if it'll top what's coming up. We are heading to Wisconsin on Saturday to let Brayden stay the weekend with his grandparents while Susie and I go to the Packers V. Raiders game on Sunday at Historic Lambeu Field. We'll post pics as soon as we get some.
