Singing happy birthday to baby jesus!
Bring on the chocolate cake.
That night the boys were busy playing poker, um i mean UNO.

And the result....

M ran over the xmas tree this year. This is the middle of our 7 feet tree.
After the base was somewhat unflattend we found some broken bulbs,exposed wire and we decided to......
make it into a 5 feet tree. cute and works perfect.
The boys put about 30 canes on the tree.
Sol thought all was cool!

Cookies anyone?

Cookie time.

So, M ran over the artificial tree in the garage. The kids wanted to have their own....
Very proud of his decorating.
Now bring on Santa.

Finally we have lights

Today, the lights finally went all up. Snow the previous week stopped M cold in his tracks.
After the lights, it's time for a bday party at the bouncy place. M's scaring the children.
