tree chopping day and latke night

Last Sunday (the 5th), we went and got our holiday tree.

Even though the weather was just awful, the kids had a blast! Dylan and Taliana checked the health of the trees, pulled our carts along and just, in general, couldn’t have cared less that it was windy and very, very, very wet (Cameron was a different story. She was strapped to me in the Ergo, was awakened from her nap before she was ready, and wanted to get down and walk, but was not allowed!!).

I’m not sure what this conversation is about anymore, but the guys seem to be pondering some “tree situation”…!

Dylan clearly didn’t mind the rain!


We all reconvened at our house for a Chanukah celebration with Heather’s family — our latkes, Bozsi’s homemade applesauce, and Heather’s warm, yummy, veggie soup for dinner, and then a few presents for the kids.


Dylan got a deck of cards with trains on them from Dennis and Bozsi and, boy was he happy! He had to view each card individually before he moved on to opening his coloring book and book of Chanukah stickers!

Oh, I nearly forgot! He got some Chanukah dominoes from Taliana as well…(and an art spinner from us).

I don’t actually have all of the pictures transferred from camera to computer yet, but many of them didn’t turn out well, anyway, due to poor lighting and a wriggly girl contributing to blur!! I’ll post more soon, though….
