Our Cristmas Tree! (hershey kiss tree!)

So here is the story about this tree........
About two weeks ago, my grandpa, my family and my uncle brad's family all went up to cut down a christmas tree. We got up to Pine Valley, pulled off to the side of the road, and after about and hour of searching we cut two trees down. One for Brad, and one for my family and a tiny one for me! It got dark fast, so we didn't have enough time to find one for my uncle Steve's family so we just loaded them up into my grandpa's truck and Brad's family headed back to St. George. My family went to Erica's concert at the fire station in Pine Valley. Right after we got home my grandpa pulls up to our house, and tells us that Brad's tree flew out of the truck, and hit the car passing them, luckily only smashing the headlight of the passing car and smashing Brad's tree. So i guess Sheri, Brad's wife, just tied the branches that fell off back on and decorated it the next day!.....................Anyways, because we didn't get a tree for Steve we gave them our tree. A few days later, i had a basketball game up in Enterprise, so my mom loaded up Grace and Lily and decided they would go cut a tree down for us, since we gave ours away. Not really thinking, she realized it had snowed that day, so she couldnt go cut one..... so she just went to my game..... on the way home, she saw a tree laying on the side of the road covered in snow, so she picked it up and threw it in the back of our truck. At this point Grace stared crying.... she told my mom she hated that tree, and she wouldn't help decorate it! The next day my mom set it up, and Grace got home from school and started crying agian....I dont think she ever did help decorate it, but she seems to be okay with it now! So thats the crazy story about how we got our tree this year!

So here is the update on rachels baby! Her name is officially Adria Jo Kuhlmann, she weighs about 4 lbs. and is doing great!
they've had a cast on her left leg for awhie, but the day i went to go see her she had it off! so far her leg is lookin great, but they may have to put the cast on again. Also, if you look at her hand she has a red mark.....my uncle brad also has it also, and it's no problem, its just a birth mark.....so i guess it just runs in the family! He surely has a new favorite niece now!
