No, we haven't kicked the poor kid out, I was just playing around with my moms camera.

fun day

We went to cut down our Chrsitmas tree yesterday. We got there later than we expected, so we didn't get to do all the activities, but we still had a lot of fun. I would add more pictures, but my computer isn't cooperating. We had a hard time finding a tree this year. Usually there a ALOT to chose from, I think that they were trying to clear out one area as much as they could before moving on to another part of the tree farm. We had to pick from the same area last year and there was a lot more to chose from then! We literally found a tree that was 'just good enough' right when they were about to close! We thought about not even getting one there. I'm sure that next year they will need to open another section. Gavin was very grumpy when we first got there but he was pretty good after he got to go on the pony rides. Why is it that kids never seem to get cold? They don't care whether they've got gloves or a hat on!
I thought that there was a resemblance between Ethan and Owen:

Love this grainy shot:
I love my brother:

I got to play around with my mom's camera, which was fun, but a bit confusing- so excuse my bad use of light...

the parade

This is our house decorated with our Christmas lights. You can't tell from the picture, but there are some blue ones there, too!


Gavin fell asleep on the way to the parade, which started after their bedtime. But Ethan fell asleep on the way home and Gavin was all smiles.
We went with Perry's parents and they brought these little chairs for the kids to sit on, they looked so cute!

We will be picking up my brother in a few hours. We are all going out to the tree farm to cut down a Christmas tree! Hopefully, we'll find some time to play Settlers tonight and get in the hot tub! Tomorrow, we are going to Sarnia for a family Christmas dinner.

the best picker

I told Ethan that Uncle Owen was going to come with us to cut down our Christmas tree on Saturday. Excitedly, he said, "Maybe Uncle Owen can pick out the perfect Christmas tree... cos he's the best picker! And maybe he can cut up our tree, too!"

ooops

I guess it's been a while! I didn't have a computer for over two weeks and then I've so busy and so tired that I haven't been on it much!
I can't believe it's already December! We usually have our Christmas tree by now, but this year we will be getting it a little late. We had our first snow yesterday, so hopefully it sticks around for Saturday. It's not the same going to cut down your Christmas tree with no snow! Last year, there was barely any snow but alot of mud... not as much fun :) We've had the house decorated for a couple of weeks, and we had put the Christmas lights up in October- so we just need our tree! I hope to finish my Christmas cards this week, I started them about a month ago, but they haven't been touched since! Most of our shopping done as well, I just need to go through what we have and figure out what we still need and then get everything wrapped. I actually love wrapping Christmas presents, so that will be fun- as long as I don't wait until the last minute!
Our friends, Robin and Marjorie, from California came down last night to stay with Perry's mom and dad. It was nice to see them again. The kids thought that their names were Roger and Margarine! lol
