christmas tree hunt

on sunday we spent the day

hunting, searching, finding, losing and finding again

our 2012 christmas tree

this was our first time cutting down our own tree

and i think it will be a new tradition.

our tree is so lovely and fresh!

here are a few photos from our day!

on the horse-drawn wagon on our way to the fields

this is the tree max wanted... it would require two stars!

this was the tree reilly wanted.... in honor of charlie brown.

this is the tree mommy wanted.... perfectly symmetrical and beautiful!

the kids with our tree.... forced to pose and very annoyed with mommy

another try... a little better - love that belly max!

our tree grew legs! taking our tree back to the wagon

taking the tree home.

max decorating in his cars pull-up.

coop decorating... it was very warm that day. we rarely decorate for
christmas in shorts in illinois!

another cute diaper pic.

reilly decorating

all done :)

i added this one... because that kid is kinda cute :)

happy holidays!

old christmas cards

over the years, i've tried

to have creative christmas cards

this year is no different

here are a few cards from over the years

2006

2007

2008

(when i was pregnant with max)

2009

on the inside, it said....

"we have no idea what's been going on!"

2010

i was tired, cranky & lazy and didn't send out a card...  ooooops!

2011

i got a little backlash from this year's card.
but... i assure you it was all done in fun.
the children had a ball and we would never, ever abuse our children.
so... lighten up people. enjoy the holidays and laugh :)

dreaming of a white christmas

it's me,

white wine

AND

a lifetime move :)

(starring alyssa milano no less!)

and outside it looks like this...

snow and christmas lights! so pretty.

christmas card time

yep, it's that time again.

the dreaded holiday card.

AND getting the perfect photo of the kids! ACK!

over the summer i worked with shutterfly.com
