Tree hunting 2013!

 Challenge is on!

 Found it!

Ben and Lizzie were the only kids who would go near Santa this year. :) 
We had a little trouble getting the 10 foot tree up... it fell over 3x and then the stand broke.  I just pulled the ladder in to put the lights on and we only have one working strand! Yikes!

Thanksgiving together!

We had such an awesome day yesterday!  Started by running the Oak Hills Turkey Trot with good friends... and then dinner at my sister's house.  We laughed and ate and drank and had the best time.  The kids played football and did Christmas crafts and enjoyed kicking off the holidays together for the first time in 3 years.  Even the puppy was exhausted!

Halloween 2013

A little behind but here are a few pix of Halloween!  We had the scream guy, a cop and Cinderella this year... trick or treating with their cousins and the next day off of school. Perfect!
