We went hunting for Christmas tree this morning and found a really great one. We tried a new tree farm this year and had a wonderful experience. Stomping through the trees with family and friends, watching a rabbit hop past us looking for cover.There were many to choose from but we finally found just theContinue reading “Christmas Decorating”

First Real Snow Fall
It was forecasted for a few days now, so we knew it was coming, but we were still hoping things would change. Unfortunately it finaly hit and we now have a fair amount of snow on the ground. It’s still falling as I write this, but it slowing down and I think most of theContinue reading “First Real Snow Fall”
Christmas 2015
It’s amazing how much a difference a day can make. Yesterday was Christmas Eve, and it was a bit overwhelming. All the kids seemed to have too much stored energy and it was coming out and not always in the best ways. There was lots of bickering and arguing going on. It was a busyContinue reading “Christmas 2015”
Christmas Shopping with Noah
Today I was able to get out on my first shopping date with one of the kids for the year. We’ve started drawing names so each Jen and I take out two kids individually to pick out small gifts for their siblings and have a treat with Mom or Dad. We had some ideas beforeContinue reading “Christmas Shopping with Noah”
Zeus, Me, and the Christmas Tree

They were only there for a bitContinue reading “Zeus, Me, and the Christmas Tree”

Before I had even finished my morning coffee I had to start hurrying so that we could getContinue reading “Getting in the Christmas Spirit”
My Daughters and Their Dolls
For Christmas this year Caile and Ella each wanted one of the 18 inch dolls which some of their friends had. I figured they were a little old for dolls and that they would quickly get bored of them and they would end up at the back of the closet or somewhere similar. So farContinue reading “My Daughters and Their Dolls”
Good Christmas Gift Idea
In my Boxing Day Reflection post I mentioned that I wanted to get more gifts that instead of being physical things would be things that build memories and experiences. It’s not like we don’t do any of this now I just want to do more of it in the future. For the past few nightsContinue reading “Good Christmas Gift Idea”
Some presents I enjoy, others not so much
Last night after coming home from our family dinner at my Mom’s house we put Noah to bed and we took the time to enjoy one of our family gifts. We were given the board game PayDay. I don’t recall ever playing it before, but Jen loved it when she was little. Alex was upContinue reading “Some presents I enjoy, others not so much”
