Finished Christmas Tree

We finished decorating our little Christmas tree. I think it turned out just perfect. The girls made all the decorations. Emma made the Rudolph that went on the top and we sat and strung the popcorn last night. It was messy but fun. I'm very happy that we have our little tree.


Our tree!

Playtime after we got the tree done

Wilson Family Christmas Party

Last Saturday we had our annual Wilson Family Christmas Party. The last few years we've held it at my aunts house that is right next to our cabin. The weather was kind of iffy on Saturday so we didn't get to stay nearly as long as we would have liked to but we still enjoyed seeing the family and Santa and playing outside in the snow.



The girls got to see Santa again



Our favorite thing to do up at the cabin in the winter

Picking A Christmas Tree

We may not have a house or any Christmas decorations this winter but we knew we had to get us a Christmas tree. Every one of our Christmas decorations are currently being stored somewhere while we are looking for a new house and living in my parents’ basement so we had to be creative this year. We went out and bought us a cute little tree the other night to put downstairs. The girls thought it was so great picking it out and they are looking forward to making all of the decorations to put on it. We've been making cute ornaments the past few weeks and we are going to attempt to string some popcorn to put on the tree also. I'll post some more pictures when we get it finished.

Time to go, this is the tree.  Emma is silly!

Taylor Family Christmas Party

Last Saturday we went to the annual Taylor Family Christmas Party. We had a fun time chatting with family and eating lots of food. The kids loved seeing Santa. We also had a good time winning presents in the raffle. It's always amazing to see how big the family keeps on getting.

Family Pictures

We had some family pictures done a few weeks ago with my family.  Yep, that's about all I have to tell you right now.  Here are the pictures. :)

My beautiful girls!


Everyone!
Every time I tried to turn the pictures it just kept turning them back.  Sorry.  Just tilt your head to the side and they'll look normal. hehe
