Absolutely wonderful weekend!

A few hours after running the 5k it started snowing! The first snow of the winter is always exciting. Scott and I had planned on picking out our Christmas tree on Saturday. We went to the mountains to find the perfect Christmas tree in the snow. Even though it was freezing we had a great time finding our tree. We have never picked out a tree in the snow. It felt more like Christmas. Below are pictures of our journey to the mountain and what our house looks like now.

Ta da. So much for my tall thin tree.
This place had fat trees. If you look at the tree
to the right in the picture, you will see the tree Scott wanted.
Our drive home was a little treturous but we made it home safely.

As you know I love designing and decorating. For the past 2 days I have been in heaven while decorating our house for Christmas. Below are a few pictures of our house.
