Today we went hunting for our Christmas tree. It wasn't too cold, and we even got to the national forest before the snow :)! Will we have snow this year???? The big brothers were a great help stomping down brush for Kara to be able to "hunt" and entertaining Simon while Dad tied on the tree and Mom took Hazel for a walk. Jacob even helped Jeff cut the tree, and Keith helped haul it out of the forest! Wow, their growing up :)! It's been so nice to have the boys home from school for a few days :)! As we ate a little "picnic" lunch, Keith wanted us all to go around and share compliments (something he had done at school in his class). We went from youngest to oldest - (Jeff spoke for Simon) Simon "said" Kara was a good helper doing dishes and helping cook with Mom. Kara said she likes when Jacob plays with her. Jacob complimented Keith on being a good big brother and that he's nice to him when they play Jet Motto 2 (a new favorite video game :). Keith said he likes Mom's dinners. Mom then shared how grateful she was that God had put Daddy in our family - he makes us smile and laugh SO much. Dad finished up our compliment session by telling Simon that he was a fun & tough guy :)! I'm so glad to be part of this fun family :)!
