We head to Swedenburg's Tree Farm to cut down our tree.

 We finally found the perfect one!

 While Will and Tripp cut down the tree, all Charlie wanted to do was fuss about wearing his jacket and try to take it off.

 certain he can carry it himself...

It was a fun afternoon and pics coming soon of our tree decorated!



The lovely stomach bug we all shared kept us from having a cookie making party the week of christmas.

Tripp was really looking forward to making cookies with his best friend and favorite cousin.

So, he and I made the cookies, but saved the decorating until christmas day at my parents' house so they could still do that together.

And, boy it was worth the wait!

These two had a blast.

 I think they may have eaten more sprinkles than made it on the cookies.

Enjoying their creations.

 Southern White Christmas!

 Now it's time to get Poppie!

Snow ball fight!!

Love.these.cousins.

I forgot to steal the pics off my dad's camera from Christmas day and the are some good ones! 

We not only had a white christmas, but it was a great family reunion.

Plus, I can't think of many things that would make pics of my boys any cuter, but Cadence Rose surely does!

Anyways, here are a few pics from Christmas 2010...
