Christmas 2007

This photo is just before the kids woke. The tree is beautiful, what excitement there was this year. We spent Christmas eve sprinkling reindeer food in our driveway, and milk and cookies out for Santa.

You also can't forget tracking Santa every 1/2 hour all day long.

What a fun year the kids really got in to it.

Holiday Party 2007

Thank you to all that made it to our 7th annual Holiday Party! We had a blast; Good food, Great Friends, and even Santa!

SNOW

Winter is here in CNY. We have snow, well more snow then just a dusting. It has been snowing for 4 days off and on. These are the kids bird houses out side the kitchen window.

Tree Harvesting

There it is being loaded on to the tractor.

Pull Aiden Get Sheriden to help you out teamwork!

A good place for a rest!

Well last weekend when it was warm (40 degrees) out we just went to look over 65 acres. With Grandma Sue and both kids. We pick out a tree and marked it and also found one for g'ma too. Now to the goods this weekend we went to "Harvest it" 14 feet tall. I will tell you a tree farm (we go to Goodmans http://www.christmastreesny.org/Goodmans/) is very happy to get rid of the big ones, so they are eager to help you out. As a 14 foot tall tree is not that easy to cut and drag out much less load on the Mini (van). No to mention it was the coldest day of the season it was about 20 degrees with a high wind. Sheriden Stayed home with Grandma and Aunt Jean, Aiden, Grandpa, Rob and I (the harvesting teem) Frozen manged to get this tree home, inside sanding and drip drying off.

First Hair Cut

What a lot of Candy

My little ones were so in to Trick or Treating and for that matter Halloween in general. For the first year I did not make the costumes we bought them from the Disney Store. From the second they arrived they had to have them on. They were worn out before the 31st. We went over the the Kozman's and went out with them. So much candy so much excitement SO MUCH SUGAR!

two are doing great and have a fabulous home!

Red wagon

Everyone had a wagon, what did you do with yours? These two do all kinds of crazy things with ours. Today it is a way to cool off on this warm fall day! BTW the water was freezing...
