Christmas Cookies!

Everyone is always willing to chip in when it's time to bake Christmas cookies. Here are a couple of sous chefs helping out in the kitchen!

After seeing the competition last year, we decided to up our game. Luckily Uncle Mike was there to help! Here are some pictures of us hard at work, putting our lives in danger. The only thing missing at this point is a picture of the finished product. I'll have to include that in one of next month's posts!

That's a lot of ladders!

Hello Uncle Mike!

You make it look easy!

I was getting tired and had to call in some backup...

Good work, buddy!

Wreath and swag...

Cross wreath...

In the jungle, the mighty jungle...

Super Dad!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree!

Now that the latest Thanksgiving of the year is over, it's time for the Christmas sprint! Only 3 1/2 weeks until Christmas! We kicked things off with a visit to the Christmas Tree Farm to seek out that most important of Christmas symbols... and jump in some hay...

That's ours on the right

We made it home!

Three years in a row without having the tree fly off the car!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We had grand plans to attend Andy and Jenn Naumann's Thanksgiving Extravaganza in Austin this year. Unfortunately we were grounded with fevers and illness! Here are a couple pictures of what we would have looked like in our Thanksgiving Day best...

Here Comes Santa Claus, Here Comes Santa Claus...

Santa made time in his busy schedule to talk with Joshua, Alyssa, and Emily about what they want for Christmas this year. We took a few pictures... and it looks like Google has added a little Christmas magic of its own. Take a close look and see what you think!

Looking good, guys!!
