The SURPRISE came when my friend Katie flew up from Florida to surprise me for the Thanksgiving weekend. It was an amazing time. We had a lot of good laughs and no trip would be complete without at least one hike up a mountain.
Saturday after our hike, we cut down a Christmas tree at Penland Tree Farm in York, South Carolina. It wasn't very eventful since we arrived after hours, had to beg to get in, ran out into the field in the dark and cut down one of the first trees we saw, strapped it to the top of my car, and hurried home. You could tell we picked the tree in the dark b/c it looks more like a diamond than a triangle- but we love it just the same and it smells up the home wonderfully. Katie and I spent the rest of the weekend decorating it.
Below our pictures of our weekend!
My little helper who wasn't such a help. The threats of electrocution weren't making it through to her.
And the not so finished Christmas tree...I have since finished putting up the ornaments. More pictures hopefully to come of Matt and I and the wishbone from the Turkey...

Ok - the way this works is I look at your blog, make a comment, and then you do that too! Love the tree - ours goes up tomorrow night! The Momma
Does Matt have hair now??? I mean... I have never seen Matt any other way but with a High and tight!
Looks like a great place. Warm it up some, and I will come visit! :)
Your little helper looks similar to my little helper. Except mine takes the decorations off my tree and hides them in the closet. I found 2 more today :p
J - I totally have hair, wild, uncontrollable hair and I am loving it. I think I am in the rebellious phase, sooner or later I will go back to high and tight I bet :-)
Whatever brother...you know you like being a hippie. Next thing you know, you won't shave your arm pits either! :P
