Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree











Okay so we are not allowed to get a fake tree, only real or Chris won't touch it. So the traditional christmas tree hunt was made to good ole Home Depot. We usually get a Frasier Fir but tried a Douglas Fir this year because of the fragrance and yes, a cheaper price. BOY was that a MISTAKE! It has shed soooo much. I have swept up 7 + dustpans full of pine needles and only more are falling off each day. When we were hanging ornaments we were basically stripping the needles and leaving sticks. SO SAD. Definitally going to get a Frasier Fir for future references!




Swimming... IN DECEMBER!?!
















So all those friends of ours whom we love who get snow, You can KEEP IT!! We get to go swimming in DECEMBER!! LOVE IT. These are some pictures from our last trip to Aquatica for awhile, our tickets expire in Jan. and don't think we'll make it back before then. It has dropped below 80 and that's too cold for me to swim in :0) Kinsey is a trooper and does the lazy river even though she has to wear a life jacket she doesn't like. She puts up with it for a while, what a trooper. WE had a blast though being one of the few families there. Good Times!

Thanksgiving...Finally!



















































Thanksgiving Vacation! We got to go to my dads for Thanksgiving. A short but nice trip. The girls just LOVED Aunt Stacy. And she was such a good sharer :0) We enjoyed the park and Hollywood, who's always looking good. While we had a playdate Chris got to ride Hogs, and I had to inform a friend that they weren't real 'hogs' but Motorcycles. Silly Dana.

We also enjoyed the cooler weather. A nice walk in the woods, shopping with Hollywood. When packing we had a tough time finding things for the girls to wear. Good thing we have tights!

I was glad to have help with the girls. And one day I came back and all our laundry was done. WOW! Thanks Lisa!! A TON!
GAmes, good food (magic cookie bars, etc) and Fun with Aunt Denise too. She was so sweet with the girls, funny too. Thanks for letting us hang with you Denise! Good times were had by all. Thanks Lisa, Stacy, and DADDY!!!

Aren't me and my sister so cute together? :0)
