Picking Our Christmas Tree 2011


.  This year we had absolutely no time to devote to driving to a Christmas Tree Farm and picking out the best tree. So, we did the next best thing and took an hour to go to the local nursery to pick a tree. We found a beautiful one that fit all our trimmings nicely

Adam pushed our decorating timeline this year.  He would not leave us alone until all the decorations were done.  The only thing we have left is half of the outside lights because of rain delays.  He is in charge of the Advent Calendars and is very interested in where our elf, Marley, is every morning.  He goes and apologizes to Marley when he hurts Caleb.  I guess he's covering all the bases for staying on the Nice List.  Caleb is singing Jingle Bells in his own way and loves to point out Christmas lights on people's houses at night.  They are both loving the Christmas movies that are playing right now, especially Rudolph and Mickey Mouse Christmas. 


Caleb Turns 2!!


Caleb is growing up so fast!!  Where did the last 2 years go???  He has blossomed into this talkative, funny, stubborn, and energy-filled little boy.   So, of course he deserved 2 parties!  We had a small celebration on the actual day and then another small one when his cousin, who turned 1 a few days later, go into town. 
Party #1

Party #2!! 

Hanging With Friends

It's a good thing our good friends here have twins 2 weeks older than Adam and they are all best friends too.  Makes for fun times.   Here they are having a popcorn and candy picnic.

Adam's Projects

Adam has been enjoying his preschool this year and I wanted to document some of the projects he's worked on.
Adam got to take home the class' Curious George and document what they did together that weekend...we watched LSU Football!!  #1

Every kid in the school had to decorate their paper turkey.  Adam chose to make him a Biker Turkey.  He was a hit with all the teachers!!

Camping Again

Found another great camping spot, Bogue Chitto State Park....with a great waterslide.  Our favorite thing to do is hang out together! 

Napping, yeah right

Over and over and over and over....
