Letter Days

Yep I stole the idea from Krystal Swan...it was a really good idea you can't blame me. Or you can..I did do it.

Letter E:

Elf, Elf Ears (Elephant ears in half), Elf song and E is for Elf coloring sheets (Emmett too)!

Emmett and Itziana played on the floor together while all the bigger littles ate Elf Ears. I love Davie's face...posing while everyone else stuffs their face.

Getting the Christmas Tree...2010

This is a sad but happy thing. After finding a 5 dollar deal on a fake tree 2010 will be the last year for a real tree for a while in our home. We will miss the adventure of finding a tree but not the mess or pokiness or sap or watering or ... fill it in.

We had to wait for Robert and Dave to finally be ready to go. After getting all three kiddos and I in the car we munched on chocolate covered pretzels and waited. Alestair's friends Maddy got to come with us year. They had a blast running about trying to find a tree and other treasures. They had a lot of fun stump hopping. Emmett hung out in the pack on my back. He wished he could run around but alas he has just learned to crawl about a month ago.

Once we found the tree we liked. We all hauled it back to the car. Robert hauled it back to the pay station while Dave and I drove the kiddos back to pick up Robert and the tree.

The Trike Trick

I love tricycles...My firstborn does as well. :) This makes me happy! He gave me a ride...well demanded that I took a ride really. It was fun.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Neil and Dannelle came up with Josie and James in tow. It made Thanksgiving lots of fun! Josie and James got socks for mittins so that we could play out in the snow for a bit. Anabel ran away but was found after Robert went out and searched. This made for a huge ordeal inside with Alestair, James and Josie. Alestair even checked the basement calling "Belle! My Belles!". Josie did the same. We played games and had a lovely turkey which we didnt get a picture of.... Robert made my dad's pumkin pie reciepe and an apple pie. Neil made two sweet potatoe pies and we had all the regular fixins to go with the turkey. With far more food than anyone there would have or could have eaten it really felt like Thanksgiving! Dave joined us for pie and game playing even!This one reminds me of Winnie the Pooh...Its Alestair.Cute little James.

The one below is just pretty and I like that Alestair is in it. Robert, Neil and James had a snow fight...not snowball just snow. The snow was way powdery so it was hard to make a snow ball.

Josie, Emmett and I were smart and only stayed out for a little while. Emmett did eat snow. Thank you Aunt Kaye for the adorable snow suit!

It bloomed!

I think this was the most fragrant rose not to mention the most beautiful!

Snow and a Rose!

It started snowing and I found my rose bud about to bloom. I took it inside and Alestair loved to smell it. Our beautiful snowy home!

Playing in the snow! Alestair loved it and Emmett didn't really understand what to do in it. Aunt Kaye told me the next day that we should open Emmett's Christmas gift and it was the cutest snow suit! I was really absent minded and took pictures of it on my phone so when Neil and Dannelle came for Thanksgiving we took more pictures of him in it. He loves it and its really cute! Alestair threw his first snowball. The snow was all powder so it was difficult but he had fun with it!

Anabel loved it as well. She would not go to the bathroom in it but who would want to. Dave was fixing his car while we played and Alestair kept trying to get him out in the cold. It was pretty funny.

Wind Storm

There was a big wind storm last night. This huge ceder tree fell down from the yard next door. It scared Dave and I.
