Oh Christmas Tree

It's almost Christmas!!! I am so excited! We have our tree up (you may have noticed that all the low hanging ornaments are missing, Our resident toddler loves to play with them and has been redecorating the house)
We made a huge mess in the kitchen, but we got some yummy sugar cookies out of it. What's a little flour? Violet dumped all the flour on the counter so we had more than a cup to flour the counter and the pin. She had a great time cutting shapes out of the flour with the cookie cutters.

Peter took this picture and I think it is beautiful.

After the cookie making. Violet was ready for a shower and I was ready for a long winters nap.

Violet playing with the flour and stealing cookie dough.


Caught ya!! stealing all the dough?!?
Claire loves this little sea horse it's kind of the same idea as a glow worm. Claire is such a funny baby. Today is her 4 month b-day, she makes the funniest faces and is a real smiler and she loves to cuddle.

We went over to Hunter's Christmas tree farm and picked our tree. This is the first time in a lot of years that we've had a real tree, it smells wonderful.

Violet had a blast at the tree farm, she ran up and down the rows of trees and had a lot of fun petting the goats.

We don't have many pictures of us as a couple but I think we look ok. We are coming out of the newborn haze.... I hope :).

What a cutie.

Which one should we get?


Earlier this month was my Grandpa Sam's b-day. Violet really enjoyed the cake.

My Dad was giving my Mom Bunny ears, it was a fun day.

Violet didn't wait for the cake to be cut she just grabbed a spoon and dug right in!!!

Claire in her Christmas dress. She's growing so fast, it's barely going to make it through Christmas before she grows out of it!!!

Claire having a chat with Grandpa.

What a great gift!

Violet and Claire got matching jammies....well they usually have matching jammies but these have snowmen on them.

Claire was kind of mad at me because I made her sit still next to Violet.
Violet thought this was really funny.




I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas. Emily: If you can your Mom would absolutely love a short video of Christmas morning. We really wish we could all be together, maybe another year. We love you guys!

Oh we are totally planning on that.
It made me a little sad to see you guys at the tree farm and tree in the house (it's in a different spot). What great memories of Christmas I have from being a kid. Well, I guess it's time to make new memories for our kids, right?
