My Baby Mama Tum a Couple of Days Ago

Here it is just a couple of days ago...continuing to grow, praise God!

Christmas Program at Church

We had a little Christmas program at church the other night and the girls both participated. It was sweet and such a great reminder of the true meaning of this blessed season.

Our Gingerbread House Creation

The Cupcake Maker

One of the only things that Elizabeth had on her "wish list" was a cupcake maker. As you can tell, she LOVES it and we have been doing a lot of cupcake making (in the microwave mind you) these past couple of weeks. The flavor choices, chocolate and "vallinna" as she would say!

Winter Debut at Debut Dance

The girls had a little mini informal dance recital this past weekend. Santa made a visit there as well.

Decorating the tree and an early visit from Santa

Here we are decorating our tree...our decorated tree...opening gifts from an early visit from Santa...

After cutting the tree, we had to go sledding on the hill at the cemetary across the way!

Despite the crazy wind chill, the girls thought it would be fun to check out a hill on their sled that was across the way from the tree farm. At one point they got going so fast and Matt was supposed to be stopping them, but he got a little distracted and they ended up bailing instead before they hit the fence. Oops!

Getting the tree in the house

So, it was another feat to get the tree IN the house. Here are some pictures from that. We only ended up breaking a door jam in the process. In one of the pictures you will see Matt standing behind the tree before we stood it straight up. You get the picture as far as how FAT this tree is!

The World's Biggest Christmas Tree...At Least for a Duplex

We had fun a couple of weekends ago with Matt's parents and getting our tree.It is the biggest tree we have ever had. In fact, before bringing it into the house, Matt had to cut off about 2 feet. We can't even get the angel on top because it is still so tall! It will be a tree that our family talks about for years to come I am sure!












The girls had to supervise dad as he was cutting the tree, cheering him on. He had to take a couple of breaks, it was hard work! THAN we had to try and get the tree to the car!You get the picture!
