On the fourth day of Advent we decorated our trees

Well Meadow and I did. Scott shoveled.

Meadow was a great helper.

We had the first snow storm of the season the night before. I got out and shoveled the neighbor's and my walkway asap.

By dusk we had the whole place decked to the nines.

Another Marine on St. Crox-Stillwater Adventure

It's our favorite time of year: berry picking season. I think that's more of Brooke and Meadow thing, but I'll go along with it. Meadow has been asking to go for weeks. I'm not sure how she knew about it since she hasn't gone since she was a wee little one.

It really stinks to be completly broke, I've never been this poor in my entire life. All my money is going towards rent which leaves me with absolutly nothing. I dream of the day my loan check comes.
