Tree Lighting and Ice Skating!

Well even though its only 50 degrees in Iowa, it is still December, and so that means CHRISTMAS!!! We got our first tree and Katie and I helped decorate it and light it up! (Mostly Katie did, thats why it looks so good, but I was a good encourager.) Then on Tuesday we went ice skating at the new outdoor ice rink, right on the river in downtown Des Moines. It was fantastic. So much fun being outdoors with scarves on and skating on ice, outside! That was a first for both of us. Here are some pictures so you can feel like you were there too...
