I took down the tree yesterday because frankly it's been a huge mess! It died two days after we got it so it's been dropping needles for weeks. When I took the tree out I could not believe the mess! There was a huge trial of needles all the way out to the door. I think I filled up half of the bag on the vacuum cleaning it all up! I love having a real tree but next year we may have to reevaluate real vs. fake.
Carson and Alaina with their haul from Santa and Mom and Dad. What fun Christmas can be!
Last Saturday Tony took Carson with him to go duck hunting. They had so much fun! Here are some pictures of their bounty.
A picture says a thousand words.
Alaina decorated my hand and proceeded to say "pretty" after she was done. What do you think? Is she destined to be an artist?
Who says you can't have fun on a siblings birthdays? Just play with the box your siblings toy comes in a you have it, entertainment for an entire day! What can be better than that?
For his Birthday Carson got a transforming Bumblebee, a "movie size" Buzz Lightyear, and some cloths. He was very excited about all of them. Thanks for all the gifts!
Saturday was the last game of the fall soccer season. Here is a a couple pictures of Coach Tony with the Scorpions.
Well here it is. I'm so nervous about it! I sure hope my customer is happy with it!
I just thought this was so cute!
So I'm going to start doing special occasions cakes from home to earn some extra money. This one I did for my little sister's 18th birthday. I think it turned out pretty good. Since I'm just starting out and still perfecting my skill I'm trying to give people a good deal. This cake would feed about 25 people and cost around $35. Let me know what you think!
I think my kids are a little young to be hiding from doing chores. But alas, I found them hiding under Carson's bed.
I guess Alaina decided that is was more comfortable to take her nap on the floor than in her bed. Who knew?
Today we bought cloths for Carson. He was wearing toddler sizes so we went to the boys sizes and completely skipped to size 5 pants and medium shirts! He is growing so fast. I must point out the shirt he is wearing. He made sure that he wore his "bumblebee" shirt as soon as he got home. The great thing about working a JCPenny's is that I got 6 shirts, 5 pants, and socks for around $60! I mush say that working there has it's advantages! I must confess that I got the socks at Walmart, but everything else was from JCPenny's.
The dangers of decorating the tree. Carson stepped on an ornament and cut his foot. He wasn't too upset...as you can see.
Carson's side of the tree
The first year Alaina put decorations on the tree. This year she understands that Christmas means presents. It's so fun when the kids start to understand what Christmas is and join in the festivities.

Since our garden got killed by the recent cold weather I cleaned it out and dug up all our carrots. Wow! There sure were a lot of them. I even found two that had grown around each other. I'm sure I could use these two carrots as some sort of metaphor, but for your sake I won't.

Yes, Alaina just celebrated her second birthday! What can I say I'm just like every other mom that says, "It seems like just yesterday that she was a baby." We'll Alaina I love you and I hope you had a Happy Birthday!
