Beautiful Tree Rachel!
What a smokin good deal too!
I cant wait to have a tall tree someday!
Randy grew up with the John Denver muppet Christmas record. So our kids now have it on CD and love it too.
You never met a gift you didn't love, but you've used gifts you've received as white elephant gifts. Does that mean you didn't like them? Hmmmm . . .
By the way, your Christmas tree looks beautiful!!! Gorgeous! I gotta work on my collection of Christmas decorations.
I didn't know that you eat me but I do like bon bons!!!! love Mary
Ok, it's so Oregonian Christmas at your house! I love the stocking holders!! So jealous because we have tons of christmas trees outside our doors and we are using our artificial one from Utah...too afraid of burning the house down and we don't own lights anymore...isn't that sad? Next year for sure!!
Rache--I need your smoked salmon pasta recipe! That sounds delish, and I've been wanting to try something new for Christmas dinner.
Also, how funny, we are hoping "Santa" brings us a new computer this year, as well. I swear I'll really start blogging once I have one.
And where did you find your stocking holders? Love em!
Your house is just perfectly jaunty and lovely. I am in dire need of stocking holders myself. They are on the end of my bed this year.
What can you do?
Hey Rachel- I got to your blog through Leslie's and I thought I'd say Hi! So, Merry Christmas to you and your fam! Your house looks picture perfect! Karley Arritt
Okay I'm totally blog crashing people we used to know. It was fun to see your family, my how kids grow. We hope you're doing well. BTW- I like your Christmas tag!

Just something kinda funny that I had to share with you. I did the primary slideshow and last night after I was done making 70 copies of it I saw down to watch it and what did I find? Your son, Jaycob, with his finger up his nose!!!!!!!! I can not believe that I did not see it earlier and there is no going back now so I am so sorry and want to apologize, but it is pretty funny.
