My friends warned me that I'd become hooked, and, well, they were right!!! The
Twilight series was by far one of my favorite reads of all time! While Sense and Sensibility and The Notebook are in the same category, these books may have bumped up to 1st place. So, I was pretty much 2 years behind most when I finally read the
Twilight books. After I read the 1st(
Twilight,) I couldn't believe I'd waited so long to read them! They are amazing!!! I fell in love with the books, characters, the story in general, and became slightly obsessed with them. When I read them they seemed completely human and believable. Most of you know that there's a twist to this love story because Edward is a Vampire. The love story is purely sweet, & so so sensual. I couldn't get enough of these books. By the time I got to the third, I started to read slower, and when I was on the 4th,
Breaking Dawn, I wouldn't even read every day. I didn't want the book to end, for the story to end! I still think that Stephanie Meyer could add a 5th book to the series, at least that's what I'd like to believe. For now, the idea that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are together in real life gives me a bit of a
Twilight fix. I never really thought much of Robert until I read the books and watched
Twilight, and now, well I'm done. He's so sexy, I love his style, his music, personality(from what I see during interviews, etc.) He seems like an ordinary, and kind person. I did add a handful of
Twilight and
New Moon songs to my favorite tunes, hope those of you that are
Twilight addicts are enjoying that :) As well as these pictures!
It was muddy!

Let the hunt for the tree that would be calling our name begin!

My Loves!
We've made it to the cabin for snacks!
And to all our amazement, got a fun group shot of entire clan, yahoo! This might have been take 4 =) But we got it!
This was our 2nd year(and hopefully tradition,) of tagging along with The Wells to a Christmas Tree farm that Mr. Wells =) has been tree hunting since he was a little boy. Another link we have to this tree farm is that our other close friends, The Ruffs, are also familiar with the tree farm, because my friend Laura's husband works with the Owner of the farm. The land Theodore owns is amazingly beautiful, and hands down one of the best chunks of land in Colbert, WA. The kids had a blast and ran around the small, lovely smelling, & muddy forest for almost an hour. What's more exciting is that because both of these families know the owner, he got his cabin ready for us after we cut down our trees. As if just the land wasn't enough to be in ah of, he also has a tiny little cabin next to his house. It is so cute! It's very traditional, and feels so cozy even though your nose is cold because the only heat is a fireplace. We brought snacks/treats and hung out in the cozy cabin for an hour or so. After we were all stuffed on cheese/crackers, apple slices, raspberry & choco/carmel oat bars, and cocoa, we called it a day! Of course the cherry on top would have been if it were snowing, but it was wonderful just the same. I'm loving our silvery green charlie brown tree, and it smells so good!
