Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

Well, we all piled into the old four-wheel drive sleigh and headed out to the country to find that ever-important holiday symbol... the Naumann Family Christmas Tree! It was a chilly 81 degrees, but we persevered and came away with a great tree!!

Hunting, hunting, hunting...

So many trees to choose from...

Let's take them all home!

Maybe some year we'll chop down one of these traditional Texas trees...

A little game of chase amongst the trees...

Smiles...

Joshua took some of his own pictures with his new camera!

Relaxing on the bench...

Choosing a tree is hard work!!

Yep, he's still four years old!

Not quite five years old... nice try!

What's a Christmas tree farm without a pile of hay?!

A rare look at Alyssa's sweet smile...

There's that toothy grin we're used to seeing...

Silly Alyssa...

Sillier Joshua...

Thanks for coming with us, Grandma!

Bath Time with Ella!

Aunt Amanda and Ella made the trip north from Houston to spend a weekend with us! We all had a great time and the kids were inseparable... just look...

Sorry Emily... looks like your days of bathing alone are numbered... the tub holds three!

Go Irish!!

This has been a very exciting fall!! The Irish and Aggies have had two GREAT seasons!! We are eagerly anticipating the upcoming bowl games! Joshua and Alyssa did have something they wanted to say about the Fighting Irish and their UNDEFEATED REGULAR SEASON...

Notre Dame: Number 1!!

Yippee!!

Well said...

Emily Meets Papa!

Gaga and Papa had to wait a whole month before they met Emily! But now that they're just down the street, they can see her anytime they want! Here are some photos of Papa and Emily... and then some more of Emily by herself...

Papa playing with Emily...

Don't worry Papa, she screams with everyone... it means she likes you!

Better get used to it Papa... I have a feeling you'll be on the short list for babysitting!!

Look who's growing!

Sweet smiles!

Don't worry Emily... that goes away with time!!

Happy Birthday from Uncle Andy and Jenn!

We managed to extend the birthday extravaganza a few more days. Uncle Andy, Jenn, and Gadget made the trip from Austin to celebrate with us!

More presents!!

Thank you, Uncle Andy and Jenn!

Little help Mom... I have lots of paper cuts from all the presents I've opened this year!

I love this game!

Look who's out of the Disney Vault!

Uncle Andy and Emily!

Our favorite dog, Gadget!

Birthday Cupcakes!

The month-long celebration continues! Here are some photos of Alyssa and Joshua enjoying their official birthday cupcakes! Joshua even brought some to school to celebrate with his class!

Look at those gourmet cupcakes!!

No mixing up these cupcakes!

Make a wish!

Hmmm... Joshua is putting a lot of thought into his wish...

We've had lots of practice blowing out candles this year!

Good job, Alyssa!

Some post-cupcake Cinderella!

I think she likes it...

Birthday Presents!!

One of the best things about birthdays is birthday presents!! Here are some photos of Joshua and Alyssa opening some of theirs...

The presents are starting to hold their interest more than the paper and boxes...
