oh christmas tree.

Oh Sunday, December 4, we headed to the mountains just outside Idaho City to cut down a Christmas tree.  It was a fun time, and all the Brooks clan made it!  We packed the baby backpack, a lunch for Clara, and a couple bottles of formula for the babe and a thermos of coffee for the parents, and we were off!

Here's a fantastic photo of Kurtis and Clara on the hike!

 All three of us!

 Cute babe all snuggled up in her backpack (which she loves!).

 Here we are with our tree.

 The whole crew.

 Then we headed back home to decorate!  We pulled out the Christmas boxes and got to work.  Clara loved all the boxes of lights and ornaments.  She couldn't keep her hands off the sparkly, pretty things.

 And here's our tree!  Nope...no ornaments.  I just stopped with lights this year, and I love it!  I know we'll do ornaments again in the future, but I'm kinda loving the lights and greenery only!
