Say Cheese!

We made it! 

I have been so ready for Christmas for so long this year (gift wise) that time seems to be slipping by!  Mardi thankfully had a dentist appointment yesterday so we decided to throw in a picture with the Ol' Guy too!  This is the first year that Jack was totally ok to go and sit on Santa's lap!  No parent in the photo this year!  I am so proud of them both...they played with the elves while I stood in line for the hour and they never once even looked for me!  They are at such a good age now, I had to call them to get their attention when I had made it to the front of  the line.  Even after their picture was taken Jack wanted to go play again!  Those Elves at Chinook ROCK!!!

Merry Christmas to you all!  Only 3 more sleeps...4 more for this household!!!  hehehe!

Thank Goodness for the Tree!

Oh Christmas Tree!

Other than this brightening up the downstairs there are no signs of Christmas around here!  Our house is starting to look like it is inhabited by our jehovah neighbors!

We are so looking forward to Wednesday when the weather is supposed to warm up and we are able to climb a ladder and hang hundreds of christmas lights, hunker down a sparkling snowman in the front yard and set up a bunch of old cedar post nailed together with some old barbed wire and leather reins wrapped in lights that cost me entirely too much money!

Thankfully we did spend a evening letting the kids decorate the tree!

I loved Jack's branches full of tinsel and christmas balls!

And I love how these two could not stop from goofing around long enough to get one good picture!  How good would it have been anyways ~ with Jack missing his pants and Mardi's self-hairdo!

Crazy kids...remind me of their FATHER!
