O Christmas Tree....

Every year we take the trek to Home Depot to pick out the tree. We take turns each year on who gets to choose. This year was Tara's year, and she did great. We got the tree home along with a second, and were trying to figure out when to decorate it.....
Loren's family came with us, so it was a family affair, and it was cold. A storm was A' brewin
It was fun to have family with us, and let the kids play.
That storm that was mentioned earlier...it hit and so it was time to bake, and then the power went out, Well, make the best of it.......
Time to decorate, we got the lights up and then.......


We lost all power, so a fire went in and we went to decorating, everyone has their own ornaments from each year that they get to put up, and it is so neat that the kids know which ones are theirs and what they represent.

About 20 minutes after the tree was done we had power again!

Ready or Not, He's 4

He informed us the day before his birthday that he slept fast so it would be his birthday...He is all boy and has brought us so much joy. It's hard to believe it was 4 years ago (nov.14) he joined our family.
He loves his Pez collection, who knew?
He is so excited when things are for him.
Tanner are you so happy?
Yes Mom I love when it's my birthday.
