Trimming the tree

Saying Clu loves to decorate the Christmas tree is an understatement, and this year he was heartbroken he didn't get to help. He was away on a business trip which left the job to the rest of us.  I don't think it was up to Clu standards (especially since the tree was very bottom heavy) but nevertheless we enjoyed it anyway. When he returned we worked on our lovely gingerbread houses to try and make up for the disappointment. It is so much fun to have little children at Christmas time. They make everything exciting and fun.

She is a little Momma to everything and everyone.

 GINGERBREAD HOUSES:

 So much excitement

 Lots of candy (most ended up in Tali's mouth)

Most years our Christmas Tree is up the first part of November and this year wasn't any different. We got to enjoy it most of November and December. We had to have time to enjoy it since we were traveling most of the holiday season. The kids are getting so big (I can't stand it) and enjoyed the magic this time of year brings.

Having Fun

It has been many months since our last post and now we are hoping to catch up. These are some fun pictures of the kids playing and teasing.

I told Max he couldn't go outside cause he didn't have his shoes on. He quickly put his shoes on but forgot the rest of his clothes.
