Christmas Morning 2013

Finally... Snow.

We were up early for school and had snow.  School was cancelled, and we heard the snow  was only going to stick around for a few hours so we were all out playing in it at 8am this morning.  Videos will come later!!  The dogs had a blast too!!

Blue having a good old time!!

Here's Cooper chasing after me.

Johnny and Shaine's 1st Christmas Show at Bethlehem Christian

Johnny and Shaine had their very first Christmas performance in front of a large group of people.  We couldn't be more proud or happy of them.  However, their teacher did explain that Johnny and Shaine were not allowed to stand next to each other because they would always push and play with one another.  Johnny is actually standing behind Shaine to the far right.  You are going to need to turn up the volume when watching them sing because all the children are 3 years old and sing very softly.

They wanted to make silly faces

The Christmas Tree!!

This year was much more fun compared to the last couple of years because grandma and grandpa joined us to pick out x-mas trees.  We decided to try a new location farm called Farmer Brown's Xmas trees.  It was a very busy place, but it had a large selection.  There was Christmas music playing while you wander around in search of  that perfect tree, and at the end of it all you can sit by a nice bonfire and have a free cup of hot cocoa.  Grandma and Grandpa picked out a beautiful tree for their home, and of course we picked out a gigantic tree.

It was 20 degrees and pretty chilly so we were all bundled up. Here's grandma getting ready for our hike through the trees.

Mike and his mom Mary (grandma)!  So cute!

Johnny and Shaine carried the cutting saws for us.

Check out grandpa..he has the Bigfoot stride going.

My princess.  She was having so much fun banging the saw on the hard ice and frost.

We are on a mission!!

Johnny is the best helper!!  He wants to do everything. Here he is helping dad and grandpa carry the tree to the car.

TIMBER!!!!!

Shaine was crying because she was cold.  Even with 3 layers of clothes.  Check out those boogers.

She started to warm up and so we were having fun taking pictures of sad faces and happy faces.

Hot chocolate time!

The end result...our awesome Christmas Tree!!
