All I want for Christmas is a new computer...

Because our old laptop crashed!! What sad timing, I have so many cute pictures with Santa, his first homemade stocking (thanks Grandma!), pictures with Santa on a C-12, etc...not sure when I'll be able to get them up...bummer!

Merry Christmas!!!

Tree hunting in south Texas

Last Saturday we decided to get our tree, unfortunately there aren't any tree farms like the ones were used to going to in Oregon or Boston, so I decided to share with ya'all one way to get a tree down here...

Dress Tommy up in his cute new furry warm bear suit and have a little photo shoot...

Head outside only to realize it's not low 50's and windy, but mid 60's, so change him into the other new holiday outfit that's a little less furry...
Arrive at the local nursery less than a 5 minute drive...

Spend less than 10 minutes wandering down the four rows of neatly propped trees to find our "perfect" tree...

and then decorate Sunday night...

Done! Tommy enjoyed helping in the bjorn...
This is going to be a wonderful Christmas season, something about having a child helps you remember what it's really all about. Family. And I find myself thinking everyday how lucky we are.

We had a fun visit from my sister, Wyatt (3) and my parents over Thanksgiving week. Wyatt thinks every airplane flies to Texas and he was so excited to be here and so much fun to be around. Constant energy, always happy (except when Ali wants him to take a nap) and Tommy loved watching him!

Cute cousins

Spiderman, spiderman...

Wyatt, Grandma & Grandpa playing with the "basketball" men (they're really Red Sox/Yankee chess figures, but Wyatt is on a basketball team right now, so that's what he said they were. Endless fun for him, still finding them in random spots all over our house!)
All aboard! Wyatt was flying us to the beach! I'm not sure who enjoyed getting on the plane more, Wyatt or Wink (note hat backwards...someone felt like a kid again!)
CIVIL WAR GAME DAY...WHAT A GREAT DAY!
Camo DUCK boys!!
Here's a link to lots more pictures from Thanksgiving week! We were so thankful for their visit during a time when travel isn't so easy!!
