Christmas Tree 2009

Tree huntin' time!

"Wide open spaces"....

"How about this one?"

Still lookin'!

"Come on mom, pick out a tree already!!"

Found it!

"We love our daddy!!"

Waiting on the tractor.

"Where did that tractor go?"

Here he comes!

Yummy Hot Chocolate!

Decorating the tree. I had lots of help - a little more than I really wanted! :)

What a mess!

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Our Ohio Thanksgiving!

This year we celebrated Thanksgiving with Linda's family. Her family lives about an hour East of Cleveland, only a two hour drive from our house. :) It was a fabulous holiday - a good time was had by all! Breakfast down at Grandma D's.

Catching up!

Back in November Megan and Sarah came out to stay a weekend with us. We had our Marine Corps Ball and needed a babysitter for the kids. Unfortunately, I didn't get many pics of us at the ball, plus they are on Megan's camera... still need to get those from you, Megan! :)

A very big THANK YOU, Megan and Sarah, for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come out here! We love you guys!
