2012 wrap up

we had a wonderful christmas season. we gathered with lots of family and friends.

this year i wanted to get a "real" christmas trees - the past several years we have purchased a overgrown tree and chopped the top off. mark and i had a "discussion" this year about what kind of tree we would get......i kind of won.  we did get a real tree. i was having a "i am woman - hear me roar" moment and wanted to pull the tree out of the filed myself.  it wasn't too heavy - just really awkward to pull.  mark of course was not going to pass up a great photo opportunity.

 too small
just right 






it was heavy - but I did it all by myself!

 natalie woke EARLY, at 3am, and came in to see if santa came. i explained that it was way to early and that she had to go back to sleep.  thankfully she did and came back around 6 am.  the kids ran downstairs and were happy to see that santa had come.
