Visit With Santa & the Worst Christmas Tree EVER

We took Caleb for his first visit with Santa this week! He looks like such a big boy in these pictures!

Our Christmas Tree died this week. It truly has to be the worst tree in Christmas Tree history. Each day got worse with needles everywhere and bulbs falling off and breaking. I woke up one morning to more broken Christmas Tree decorations on the ground and decided to take the whole thing down! It was a GIGANTIC mess. I have titled my pictures, 'Christmas Tree from Hell.' I told Dylan that experiences like this would turn anyone into an artificial tree owner. I think we will be cleaning up needles for a long time. Ugggh what a mess! Good thing the real meaning of Christmas doesn't involve trees.

We did decide to get another tree. Here is tree number 2. Hopefully it wont die!

Fun Times in Cinci

Caleb and I took to the roads once again a few weekends ago. We are getting pretty good at these 4+ hour drives! We traveled to Cincinnati to visit good friends and to watch Dylan START in his first game of the season! WOO HOO! We stayed with our friends Ben & Karyn and their lil girl Elleora who is 3 weeks older then Caleb. Caleb and Elle had a lot of fun playing together!

Playing a fun game of peek a boo. I love this picture.

The Bengals Stadium. Our seats were soooo high! I am terrified of heights so this was extremely scary for me. The over dramatic side of me came out when I kept shouting, 'I'm going to die' or 'we might as well sit on the roof'. It was awful. Thankfully the kind security guard let me move down before I fainted.

This is my sweet friend Lisa Porges who was on summer project with me 8 years ago! It was so fun being at the game with her!

Our good friends from our bible study back in Indianapolis drove in for the game. It was SO GREAT seeing them. We miss them all terribly!

Oh Christmas Tree... Oh Christmas Tree...

Caleb enjoyed his first tree decorating experience. So fun having a baby around this Christmas!

Christmas Tree Farm

We ventured out to a local Christmas Tree farm this week to cut down our tree. We had a great time as a family!
