"Who hears these words of mine & puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine & does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, & the winds blew & beat against that house, & it fell with a great crash."

Matthew 7:24-27

Christmas Tree Hunting

The Sunday after Thanksgiving, we always go get our Christmas tree.  If you've read our blog before, you know we always go up to the Volga Valley Conservation tree farm to get our tree.  It's the place where I (Ashley) have been going since I was little, and this year was no different!  It was kind of fun to have a little snow on the ground this year, as it was the first year in a long time that we had snow looking for our tree. :)  It was a pretty nice day too!  It didn't take us long to find our tree.  My brother likes to try to set the record for the fastest "tree find". :)  Here are some pictures from our hunt! :)

We found her!

It's always tradition too to stop at Casey's in Sumner on the way home for hot chocolate and cookies….this year was no different. :)
