Merry Christmas

Christmas Tree

Every year a few days after Thanksgiving the whole family heads out to hunt down the perfect Christmas tree. I have to admit that the last two years we have done our hunting at Home Depot. Hey we get the perfect tree and we were not freezing outside. The down side to hunting in home depot is that some of us get distracted with Christmas decorations like singing chipmunks.

Some of us are more in the Christmas spirit then others.

Jo making sure the tree we picked is OK.

Nate counting how old our Christmas tree is (9 years old).

The joy of shopping with four kiddos.

Now the job of decorating begins.

Over the years I try to add to the kids Christmas tree ornament collection. I try to buy each of them a new ornament every year that they will be able to take when they leave our house. Sam and Nate have a nice collection of trains (Nate) and planes (Sam).

The girls have a little bit of everything. This year Jojo got a little bumble bee for her bumble bee part in our co op play.

And Emma got a little lady on skis since she become our little skier last year :)

He is 9 ....

My baby (very big baby) is 9 years old today. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for him.
