Our Christmas Tree!

We have been getting our tree from Useldings in Cedarburg for many years. I love it because it brings back memories from when I was a child. We went to the same tree lot and I remember the aisles of trees just looking like they went on forever and the trees appeared so tall. The snow on the ground, rows of beautiful trees, smell of pine, picking out the best tree ever. I am now reliving it all with my kids. It is so neat to watch them run around just as excited I remember I was. Gavyn is getting old enough now to get into Christmas, he woke up the following morning after decorating the tree wondering where the presents thinking it is already Christmas. Now to attempt to find time to get the rest of the house decorated!

Grafton Christmas Parade!

The kids had a great time at the parade this year! Sunny and no wind made for a perfect parade day! Gracelyn was such a trooper the entire time even though she couldn't move with her Christmas Story snowsuit on!

Thanksgiving 2013

Another great Thanksgiving. We hosted at our house and I was pretty proud of myself for cooking for the huge number of people in the family! Grandma Peg, Ashli, and Jason came over for pie. It is always so nice to see them! A lot to be thankful this year!

Excited Girl!

So onto something new as parents, loosing teeth. First off, I think this is so gross. Everything about it, the wiggling of a loose tooth, the tooth itself, the missing spot in the mouth where the tooth was, all gross! Well anyways, Lilyana is beyond thrilled that her teeth are falling out! She also likes to keep everything so had to write a letter to the tooth fairy requesting her to just look at the tooth and not take it. :) Today at school tooth #2 came home in a little baggie. Another note written to the tooth fairy. Even though I think the whole teeth falling out is disgusting it is amazing to watch the joy on her face when the tooth fairy comes with sparkly money. (And the amount shown here was a first tooth special, she will not be getting $5 every tooth!)

Friday Night Jam Session!

Just 4 Fun

Lilyana had a half day of school so we spent the afternoon at "The Play Place". Gracelyn was old enough to do some exploring of her own! We will be spending a lot of the long winter days here!
