Enjoying the mountain fresh air.
My hunter striking a macho pose.
Funny little thing...I found the tree I liked, but doubted myself and decided to try another spot. After searching for a while, we decided to go back to the previous spot and get the first tree. While Blair and his brother Matt went to go find it again, Dannielle (Matt's wife) and I stayed in the truck. I asked Blair to make sure they took a picture to document the moment. When they got back, they told us that Blair had a close encounter, but barely survived. I was confused, and as I looked at the photo, this is what I saw! Funny brothers decided to scheme a funny shot!! Scared me for a milisecond, but then I got a good laugh out of it.
I decided to try an idea I saw last year. I baked orange and lime slices to dry them out and then hung them on my tree. They smelled wonderful and actually look pretty cool on my tree.
The finished product! A little gappy here or there...but we like it. After we finished the decorating, I went and rented a Christmas movie to watch by the light of the tree. I love this time of year!

Well done Cami! Your tree was a good selection. That is a funny picture, silly boys. Your orange slices look nice, adds a pretty color. I love this time of year as well. I will e-mail you the photos I took of you and Blair. Could you do the same of the ones that you took?
Love- Dannielle
You're tree looks great! I can't believe it's been a year since we last went and got a tree. We are excited to see you guys in a few weeks. When are you guys coming up? We forgot a few things and were wondering if you could bring them...we need your phone number! :)
Cami! Yay for blogs! I'm so glad that you let me know you had one too! Your tree adventure looks like a blast, and is making me second guess our decision to not get a "big" tree this year. And the orange/lime slices look like a way good idea! Anyways, take care!
Your tree is beautiful. I liked the photo of Blair's "accident".
Cami & Blair, some of my favorite lovebirds! I'm glad to see you joined the blogging world.
It looks like our homemaking class is paying off, nice work on the oranges/limes.
Hope you guys have a wonderful holiday season.
I was so excited to see you on my blog!!! I don't get to see all of my favorite cousins enough, I miss ya'll. Unfortunately we won't be coming home for Christmas this year. It is our year to go home to WA, but it is just too expensive to fly 5 people right now. Bummer! Keep blogging though, so I can kind of see you anyway! I am so glad that you are so happy and doing so well!
I love your lemon and orange idea! I could smell how wonderful it is! I think I'm going to try it out for myself this year. Can't wait to see you guys at Christmas!!!
