Getting Ready for Christmas

We always get our tree the first week after Thanksgiving during the week so we can go with fewer crowds and get the first pick (as if a bunch of new trees are going to grow in one year). This year it was around 19 degrees and we had quite a bit of snow so the walking on the trail at our secret spot was a little more difficult.  We did find a great tree though.  We stopped for a burger at the Wines of Colorado which was one of the best burgers around.  The place is cute and we sat by the fireplace.  Our waiter agreed that we found a great tree.  Valerie and Eric also had a cookie decorating get together and it was a success.  We decorated lots of cookies and had potato leek soup and skinny lasagna soup.  Arn was happy since the Steelers won that day especially since he was watching the game with a bunch of Bronco fans.  If I can figure out how to get pics from Instagram or from Val I'll post some pics of the cookies.
