The Tree

 
 

In years past we have tried our best to cut down a tree.  A. It is $5.00.  B. We live pretty close to the mountains.  C. It is an adventure to hike in the mountains to find that perfect tree that ends up looking spindly by the time you get home.  This year we couldn't cut one down because there was too much snow.  So, we got one at the local tree lot.  Most of the big ones are tied up, so you hope for the best and don't ask them to open them unless you are serious.  The tree we chose is so beautiful and full.  It may not happen again for a long time, but we really enjoyed this tree.  It did take up a lot of space, but who needs space in the family room.

Halloween Party


 










This year at the neighborhood Halloween party the costumes were quite a treat.  AS you know, Jeff and I love to really get into it.  Might as well.  Here are some of the costumes of the night.  I can't believe that I missed a few, but I did try.

The Library


For many years our kids have gone to the library to trick or treat.  They get to wear their costume in inside and get about 5 candies.  Ashley went with us this year.





Grammy met us there.

This is Idaho

Out of the blue it hails or snows before Halloween.  Why should I be surprised, I live in daho.
