Our 1st REAL CHRISTMAS TREE!

After Thanksgiving it is tradition that we get a Christmas tree. Now I ALWAYS grew up with a real live tree. However after mr Karston was born this option was no longer available in our little house but, THIS year that was all going to change!!!! Reeds Dairy this year offered a "Come cut down your own tree and get FREE ice cream After deal." So we decided to try it out. The kids loved it and I loved it and the tree was CHEAP which was even better. We were a little skeptical pulling in but we did find our "Charlie Brown Tree" and we loved it. Although it was a bit deadly if you touched it. So with that being said you can only imagine how fun putting lights on it was. Not so much!!! 

 Karston really wanted this little tree but we sadly turned it down. 

 I guess we didn't get a picture of it before we cut it but it is beautiful. 

 Afterwards we decided to get a little more than just ice cream. We ended up getting some Grilled Cheese meals with Chocolate Milk of course at Reeds Dairy. Oh boy were they ever so very delicious!

 We of course had to create this AWESOME new memory and maybe tradition with our new best buddies the Richardson's. We feel so grateful that we both moved on the same street about the same time!

 You will RARELY ever find Ellie without a chocolate mustache of some kind on her face. 

 Karston was pretty excited that he found a chip that was shaped like a "J"

Another memory made. It was lots of fun and I feel so very blessed every moment I get to spend with my beautiful little family. So let the Christmas celebration begin 2013!!!!!
