Oh Christmas Tree

Thanksgiving was fun and then Friday rolled around, everyone left, and the house got quiet. Since we had no more friends to invite over, we decided it was time for ... Christmas!
We piled into the van, grabbed a saw from the Andres and headed up to the Eagles' Nest for a Christmas tree. No boyscouts in Ashland! We got it home, cut it to size and had it up by dinner. Notice Susan's gingerbread ornaments and cranberry-popcorn garland.
Steph and Cass added some flare by gifting each of us a western-style ornament, including a saddle, a spur and a lasso. In place of a star, we graced it with a cowboy boot we found in the bushes. Basically, it's a Country Kitchens classic.
