~ This is the scene of Christmas tree hunting, we were very successful this year. We picked the worst day to go because it was a BLIZZARD on the mountain. Needless to say I wasn't very picky, I walked around for 5 min and then said, "yup that one looks good", and it paid off!
~I stink at decorating a Christmas tree, or maybe it is my decorations that stink? Or maybe it is the fact that the tree is so Charlie Brownesque that makes it hard. ???
~ It was my birthday on Saturday, it was a great day!! My mom and I went gallivanting around Twin all day and finished up most of our Christmas shopping. Nate got me The Help, so when the kids went to bed we sat down to watch it..I love that movie. I was crying so much that the tears were running down my NECK...crying in a good way. Best. Movie. Ever!
~I also got the Our Best Bites cookbook for my birthday, now I have a grocery list a mile long. There are so many things I am excited to try!!!
~ Been waiting for this day to come so that I can call my Christmas shopping done! There's a certain movie that comes out today, that is on someone's list.
~ Hudson asked Santa for black boots...little kids are awesome.
~ The Christmas cards officially started coming! I think there is NOTHING I love more than getting Christmas cards in the mail! (hint hint :) )
~ Speaking of Christmas cards... I haven't even started on mine. I just picked up the picture CD from the photographer last night at about 5:00.
~ I am really disappointed in the pictures this year. Joslyn was not interested in getting her picture taken, in half of the pictures she was bawling and in the other half she was looking away.
But I ordered one anyway because the last family picture we had done Hudson was about 9 months old. The pictures are a blurry mess, they looked fine in a little 4x4 proof but blow that up to 11x14 and.... grrr!
~Brody has been laying around, ill for the last 3 days, I hope he snaps out of it because tomorrow is his birthday!!
~ My niece is dancing in the Nutcracker tomorrow, I'm so bummed that I have to miss it, I just don't think that would be Brody's activity of choice on his birthday. Good luck Kailey!!!
~ On the 3rd we got to see my other sweet niece be baptized, now Hudson is talking about when he is 8 he is going to get baptized, Emily thank you for setting such a great example.
~ After the baptism we met up with some dental school friends that we hadn't seen in a couple years, we had a great time catching up, and I had a great time loving their sweet baby girl.
~The funniest thing...Joslyn sings the clean- up song all the time. Her version goes like this, "dee-yup dee-yup, evbody dee-yup" If she sees you cleaning up anything (the bathroom counter, dishes off the table, papers off the floor and toys for sure) she breaks out in song. It makes cleaning a whole lot more fun!

I love the clean up song. For Andrew it goes something like" keen up keen up eh-budy keen up". It makes me smile too and he is the first of my kids that it will consistently get him to help clean up when you sing it.
I love all the December happenings. The last 2 years have been messed up though moving so its fun to see everyone else be busy in a non moving way :). But Now that we are closer, these old dental school friends will have to get together :). Hint hint.
