If you are needing a good laugh, just press play and sit back!

5th Annual Christmas Tree Chop!

here it is! well the middle section at least. This is our 5th annual Christmas Tree Chop and 3rd here in Colorado! We had our hands full this year with Natalie trying to trudge through the 8 inches of snow in her 2 inches too big boots and wearing dad big mittens that go up to her shoulders made it hard for her to focus on looking for our tree this year. Meanwhile Lindsay is got Tyler in a polar bear suit and thrown over her shoulder on the look out for the tree. Lindsay spotted our tree this year (fir tree 7 feet tall) and then called in the calvary to chop it down! We had a blast this year even though our hands were very full of kids and tree sap. On the way back home Natalie fell asleep while the snow was coming down as we drove through Garden of the Gods singing Christmas tunes on the radio and spotting deer in the park. Merry Christmas!

Thanksgiving

We had lot's of visits from friends and family this Thanksgiving since Tyler was a popular man to see. Thanks everyone who took a moment to come by the house to see Tyler or to send a gift to him, we are very grateful. Lindsay's folks were here to stay through turkey day and will be coming back during Christmas! We had everyone pitch in to help us out from cooking in the kitchen to dirty diaper changes and then everyone left and reality set in that we now have 2 kids and a family of 4! Anyways here are a bunch of photos from this time.
