Part of what I love about the girls' names is that they were both popular 100 years ago and many people with those names are now great-grandmas. Both names evoke a vision for me of sweet old ladies rocking away together on a porch. I pray Ella and Sadie will live meaningful lives full of love and will be enjoying each other on a front porch somewhere many years from now.

Christmas Tree Farm!

We cut down our own Christmas Tree for THE FIRST TIME EVER!!! We love all things Christmas so much we decided to try our hand at cutting down our own tree. We found the farm close by and spent hours looking for the right tree. I think going a little late in the season did us a disservice because it was hard to find the perfect tree. However, we ended up getting a white pine with long needles (we've never had that type before) and it worked out great! The tree was cheap ($40) and the actual cutting took about 5 minutes. The best part? Our tree was still soft to touch in FEBRUARY when we finally took it down! Usually our trees are dead and prickly within 2 weeks! Definitely will be making this a tradition!
