Some of the Christmas Break...

Okay, so I kept on trying to get Siena to talk but she does nothing without a little incentive.... so I let her hold the camera. You'll see the funny stuff she tries with it. Man, Staz! I love your baby!

Chad did, fortunately, make it down alive....
and then attacked Harper on his way up...

(Hey momma sita, thanks so much for the secret favor! Okay, it's not secret but now that I said it is, it is.)
So.... the moral of the story is: Smile lots and lots and maybe the smile will eventually get back around to me and I'll smile back and it'll get back to you!

Christmas Devotional

Tree Hunting

The day after Thanksgiving brings relaxation, digestion, and a great Camp family tradition: finding our Christmas tree.

Each year our hunt brings a little something new. This year we found an old mining cabin.

This is the front view.

Sierra

A nice "homey" touch don't you think?

I wasn't sure if the place was haunted or not.

Sierra wanted to capture the light coming through the rafters.

Brittany

Here is Dad sizing up some trees.

Mom found the perfect one!

"Oh Christmas tree, Oh Christmas tree, How lovely are your branches!"

I couldn't get enough of the pine smell.

Harper did the dirty work.

Getting the tree off the mountain was a little tricky, but Dad found a way.

Hopefully I'll get some pictures soon of the tree after it has been decorated with lights and ornaments!
