it's beginning to look a lot like christmas...

and we have our tree...

sam joined us cutting down the tree...

i have yet to upload the pics, so the picture of the tree must suffice.

and i LOVE the instagram app on my iphone.

it's HOW i got this gorgeous picture!

sam has two "first" ornaments - a picture frame and a tomte (sitting at the top of the tree with a white beard)
