Accidental Twins!


We were going to a Christmas concert one night and Mackenzie came out of her room all dressed up. Then Scot came out of our room all dressed up. Mackenzie looked at him and said, "Hey you copied me!" They looked at each other's clothes and just started laughing! It was not planned at all, but don't they look nice together!

Santa Tate




Tate thought it would be fun to play Santa one night while we were decorating the house. So he put on his Santa hat and a red coat, got a "sleigh" (with a frisbee steering wheel!) and a sack of toys! The sack is in the "sleigh" with him! Talk about a tight fit! What a cute little Santa!!!


Mackenzie's concert







Mackenzie had a choir concert this past week. She sang awesome! She was nervous but did better than some! One kid threw up and another one fainted. So, all in all, it was a great night!



First snow




First snows on the ground just in time to invite santaclause to town!

Tree Harvest
















Hey,Hey! Thought we would share our Christmas tree excursion with you. Wade could not sell us on his first tree but his second choice was a pretty little scotch pine that we all agreed on. Lori's Sister and her family come with us. Even though it was 15 degrees out we all had fun and caught the Christmas bug.

Thanksiving

I got this an an email and thought it was worth sharing. I know Thanksgiving is over, but it is still good.
I AM THANKFUL:
For the wife who says it's hot dogs tonight, because she is home with me, and not out with someone else.
For the husband who is on the sofa being a couch potato, because he is home with me and not out at the bars.
For the teenager who is complaining about doing dishes, because it means she is at home, not on the streets.
For the taxes I pay because it means I am employed.
For the mess to clean after a party because it means I have been surrounded by friends.
For the clothes that fit a little too snug because it means I have enough to eat.
For my shadow that watches me work because it means I am out in the sunshine.
For a lawn that needs mowing, windows that need cleaning and gutters that need fixing because it means I have a home.
For all the complaining I hear about the government because it means we have freedom of speech.
For the parking lot I find at the far end of the parking lot because it means I am capable of walking and I have been blessed with transportation.
For my huge heating bill because it means I am warm.
For the lady behind me in church who sings off key because it means I can hear.
For the pile of laundry and ironing because it means I have clothes to wear.
For the weariness and aching muscles at the end of the day because it means I have been capable of working hard.
For the alarm that goes off in the early morning hours because it means I am alive.


We all have so much to be thankful for. Let's not take anything for granted! Love you all and hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!
