my older brother

just a thought during this christmas season. why do we celebrate christ's birth more than his death? through him the atonement was made possible!!!!!
because of him, our older brother made it possible for us to repent, be forgiven, and return to our heavenly father. I'm glad to have such a wonderful older brother. aren't you?

frosty

we are in the process of building another giant snow man. right now he stands 10 & 1/2 feet tall. he is still under construction. he stands on a platform that will become part of his feer once the rest of him is done. we are competing with our neighbor to see who can get the tallest sonwman. right now we are winning.

the tree

today we foraged for the perfect tree. the drive up took about 30 minutes. the search took about 31 minutes. the harvest took about 15 minutes. the return to suburban took about 3 7 minutes. the securing took about 15 minutes. the return took 30 minutes. we saw a coyote in the feild on the way up. we also saw an elk carcas on the side of the road. and a cute squirrel run across the road. this is by far the shortest trip we have ever taken getting a tree. the sun was shining and we did'nt get cold.
