O' Christmas Tree.....

Steve and I came home from Indiana last week! Since we were already there, we decided to check out some of the Christmas tree farms that were in Indiana. We found this one that is called "Lost Forty Tree Farm." They have 40 acres of land and about 20 of them are filled with Christmas trees!!! What a dream!! It was a freezing cold day and all the trees were lightly dusted with snow, making them even more irresistible! After trying to decide between many pretty trees--we found the one for us! Steve cut it down and we hauled it back to our car--then came the adventerous part! Since we had been away from our home for about 2 1/2 weeks we not only had our suitcases that we had taken to Indiana, but we also had many bags from our Christmas shopping we did while we were there. Yes--our car resembled Santa's sleigh--and we had yet to fit the tree in! Thanks to some smart packing and re-organizing by Steve we were able to fit our tree in and then made our 2 hour drive home to Kentucky. We love our beautiful tree and are already attatched to "him." When we got back to Kentucky we sprung into high gear, decorating our home for the holidays,we have officially kicked off the holiday season at our home!!! (even though we all know that Christy was listening to Christmas music in October!) I just love this time of year when we can celebrate the birth of Christ and the many blessings we have in our lives because of His birth! I hope that everyone is able to feel the Sprit of Christmas this year in their lives and homes and amidst all the excitement and decorations, yummy smells and things to eat, presents and parties realize that it is truly the "Spirit of Christ" that makes our hearts a little happier and gives us hope. ~ MERRY CHRISTMAS!~
