Christmas is in the air!!

I will try not to bore you to death with a bunch of blah blah blah. Lets just get straight to the point. 


First thing on the list: Annual Yearly Christmas Family Photo. 
    As usual I am to cheap to pay a professional photographer, instead we opt out for the tripod, lots of frustration and hundreds of "just one more shot" :) I just sum it all up as great family bonding. 
I know, I know your all soooooo excited to see our family photo <----- insert big eye roll.  But you don't get to see it until Christmas. Wouldn't that ruin all my hard work on our Christmas card? However I will show you a few cute snaps I got of Haylie and Tom(despite the attitudes I receive on these outings.) heheheh


Second thing: Christmas Tree Harvest
   Boohoo there is no snow!!! Haylie some how got it stuck in her head that if we didn't have snow we couldn't get a Christmas tree. Despite this depressing lack of snow we were still able to take the horses out and find that ONE special, beautiful tree. SHAME on Mom for  the dead camera battery.  (note to self go put it on the charger RIGHT NOW) I am so sorry but your going to have to be happy with phone pictures. :( :( At least I can say my families smiles, full hearts, and over flowing joy, will always be ingrained in my heart. 


Third thing: A new twist
    We normally do a Christmas count down calender, but I saw this cute idea for making a garland and  sewing them closed with candy inside. It was a fun family project. 

Oh brother I am rambling on..... Shutting up now.......here are your pictures.

This is what my family looks like while they are waiting for me to set up. 

Always waiting on Mom

Nope I don't think this will work. 

Simple joy. 

They are off to chase the Geese

Our count down garland. Ideally you should start on the 1st, but we have been super busy and it got put off. 

Helping Daddy cut the tree down. 

Hawkeye and Haylie have been put to work. 

And they are off. 

Snack break

Until I get further instruction on the whole video upload thing, this will be the last video I post. It has thoroughly pissed me off. I have to reload pictures because it insist on inserting itself in random places. ERRRRRR!!! Beside my frustration I wish you could hear the sound in the video because Haylie was singing Jingle Bells the whole time. It sure doesn't look like winter in this post video.
