Counting down the days......

I have decided that I do not like the Christmas calendars..... The forboding reminder that you're not ready, but it's coming anyway. Chloe got one from school that she puts stickers on. I keep hoping that time will stop for just a day or two. I started to make one for family and I thought it would turn out cute. It's a little quilted one with buttons to put to ornaments on. Now I'm not so sure I want to finish it..... If you haven't realized, I don't feel like we are even close to being ready for Christmas this year. Yet, here it is less than a week away.

We've gone some parties this year where the girls have gotten to sit on Santa's lap, luckily no tears this time.

Little Tyler didn't cry either.

Apparently there was fuzz on the lens all night too.

Our Beautiful Tree!

Tyler and I have officially had our first real christmas tree! We were getting ready to start putting up our decorations and a last minute decision came around to get it. Our fake tree is pretty, but nothing compares to the real thing. Our house, or atleast the livingroom, smells so good all the time now! So far no issues with it and Little Tyler yet. Well worth the needles I have to clean up all the time.

Thanksgiving '08

Here I find myself behind again.

For Thanksgiving we went to Idaho and spent the holiday with Tyler's dad and stepmom. We had planned on just staying here, but Tyler was lucky enough to get the day before off. Like always, the girls loved to see their grandparents. It was good to see some of the family too. Of course there are pics to share.

Lots of fun with Grandma and Grandpa.

It's a little hard to see, but the mohawk twins.
