Christmas Tree Hunt 2011

Christmas Tree Hunt 2011 was a success!!!

Not a happy trip for everyone but we did it and have a tree so it was successful!!!

It was cold and both kids weren’t to happy with the trip, they both kept tripping on stumps so we had a few falls and dirty knees, it was really muddy!  Lauren helped pick out a tree, while Connor fussed pretty much the whole time because he wanted to carry the saw or push the cart, which kept getting stuck. As you can see in the pictures we finally let him hold the saw for a while, he sure is a stubborn little guy. 

 We plan to decorate the tree tonight – more pictures coming soon!

 

Halloween 2011

Halloween 2011 was a huge success!!!!!!!!!

Lauren was a Zebra and Connor was a logger and they got tons of candy!!!

Lauren ran up to every house with her cousins and Connor tried to keep up.  Connor was rediculously cute! He insisted on walking the whole time and threw a fit if anyone tried to pick him up or touch his candy bucket.  So he pretty much made every other house since he couldnt keep up with the big kids, but he scored big while he was there.  He would get up to the door and say knock knock and then stick his basket out for a very long time, so long that they would just keep giving him candy until he left.  At most houses they gave him candy about three times before he would look at them and then his bucket and then turn around and walk away.  His basket was so heavy he was dragging it behind him and kicking it along, but he wouldnt let anyone touch what he calls his Chocky (Chocolate). 

The only good picture with Lauren - she wouldnt wear the zebra head most of the night.
