O Christmas tree!

The day after Thanksgiving, we went out to the backyard and searched long and hard for the PERFECT tree! It took about 5 mins and we FOUND IT!

Here's Lane with HIS tree.....for his toy room..

hauling the trees back to the house...

Here it is!!! here's the boys cutting it down

Lane even got to use the saws-all a little bit!

Lane carrying his tree, he's so strong!

Here's some fun little window pretties I made!

I discovered a love for berry decorations! I.LOVE.THEM!

More window pretties

One more stocking added this year. I love our stockings. They make me laugh nearly every time i see them! Good thing we have room on our mantle for a few more!!! :)

a cute little table runner I made....

more window ptretties!

ahhhhhhhhhhhh here it is!!!!!

Isn't that the most glorious tree!?!?! OH i love it!

We've come along way in the tree department. I should post a picture of our very first Christmas tree :)

this is my favorite one though!! Hope everyone is excited for this Christmas season!

Family pics 2011

YAAAY they're finally here....

Look at my handsome fellas......i just love them!!!

this is by far the funniest picture....nothing warms the heart of a mother like two scowling daughters forced to take their picture with their mama!!!

deep thoughts....

Lane's face in this is priceless :) This is his super hero shot!!

sassy....

our poor photographer tried so hard to get me to take a "serious" face picture and i just cannot do that to save my ever lasting soul....so she finally said, "Just bury your face in his shoulder" yes...i can do that!!!!

where were the kids when we took this picture??? Well...locked in the van with 20 bags of fruit snacks watching a movie if you must know!! :)

I actually love this one....i'm going to have

"stand ye in holy places" accross the bottom and put it up somewhere ...cute!!!

ahhhhhhh my favorite!!!! This is the whole reason for the day of torture for the kids....I just wanted ONE nice family picture to hang over my piano. This is as good as it gets with my kids :) At least they're all mostly smiling!!

Cutie 1 and cutie 2

fun!!!! Well *I* had fun taking our family pics....Scott was pretty much miserable with Macy and lane and lucy could take it or leave it....mostly leave it....Suffice to say we won't be doing this again for several years :) But at least i got some cute pictures!!!!! YAAY

5 days

5 more days until I can decorate for Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY

aren't these cute?? These are some little ornaments I made with some friends the other day.... i can't wait until Christmas!!!

It's ON!

Well, Mother Nature was NOT even kidding this past week....

ready or not.....here's winter!

We woke up one night to this huge THUMP and couldn't figure out what it was....

Then we finally realized it was the snow sliding off the roof!

I think we ended up with around a foot or so at our house. Which is really funny because my friends accross the highway said they only got 4-5 inches!

Lane is beside himself with excitement for the snow activities. We've been sledding, made a snow man, got out the skis, and rolled in the snow....

Lucy is not so sure about this stuff...she really wants to play in it, but it's a little harder than it looks!!

and here's poor Macy....begging me to take her outside.....:) eventually sweetie....mama's gotta work up to that!!

Lucy's Party!

Well Lucy is officially two!! :) What a fun little girl she is. Lucy reminds me of a little Sprite running and hopping around. She's very excitable and generally a happy little girl. She loves to give hugs, and loves stories, and music. She's talking up a storm these days, and makes us laugh.

here's some pictures from her birthday....a little backwards in order...but that's ok :)
