Decorating The Tree.....Twice

The day after Thanksgiving Cameron took the kids and went tree hunting. 

After spending a week in the garage we decided it was time to bring it in and decided where it would spend the Holiday season. Then a couple days went by before my Mom put lights on it for me.(Thanks Mom)

Then finally Sunday we decided to let the kids decorate it.  The kids did a wonderful job and Shane even helped.

                     

                        

After the tree was all decorated and the kids were in bed I ran to the store(Liz informed me before bed the cat was out of food).  When I returned I found an empty living room and the decorations and lights were sitting on the nearby couch. Cam delivered the bad news that the tree had fallen over twice while I was gone.  UGH!!!

So out came the pre-lit 6' artificial tree.  The kids loved getting to decorate a second tree.

                     

Hoping to avoid anymore tree mishaps we are wishing you all HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

You've had a Birthday!!

Six years ago on December 7th a precious 7lb. baby boy was placed in my arms.  I cannot believe how fast time flys.

                         

Stockton is such a joy to have in our home and we love all of his little habits and mannerisms.  He is so much like his Dad.  He enjoys anytime he can go out to the farm, go to the shooting range or just spend time with his Dad.

He is one of the easiest kids to buy presents for.  He circles about everything in the Cabela's catalog. Although I would love to buy him everything I just picked a few things. This year he got a toy shotgun, Cabela's big game hunter with a gun for the wii, and a pop gun.

                   

The kids have stayed up the last two nights playing the Wii game way past bedtime.  That has made for some hard mornings. Oh well.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STOCKTON!!   We hope you had a great one!
