So the first picture really isn't from Christmas, it is from Thanksgiving but I had to share it because is so funny. Tucker & Spencer found a new use for the caps from the top of the sparkling cider. Spencer has the metal caps over his eyes & Tucker has the plastic covers you use when you want to save it after you open it. It's what boys get up to when dinner is done!
Pretty much every year we have gone out and cut down our own tree. This year Tucker had to work so he didn't get to come sadly. So here is Cooper looking manly with the saw in his shorts--which I think I have mentioned before that he wears them year round. The only time he isn't in shorts is on Sunday. Even then, if he could figure out a way for dress shorts to be acceptable he would wear them to church.
Spencer picked out the tree we finally settled on. It only took about 10 minutes of looking at the most. I didn't like noble firs so much when we first started getting them, but I have to admit they have grown on me over the years and I think the right kind of noble is the best because you can really display your ornaments.
It actually wasn't as muddy as it looks in this photo, but we definitely were lucky to get a day without rain to get our tree!
The place that had the trees also had these cute little donkeys. Spencer asked if I thought they would bite before he decided to try petting them.
Cooper this morning. Not sure why he was wearing that hat. It wasn't cold in the house!
Spencer was also sporting a stocking cap. Guess it was the fashion of the day.
Specner gave me the salt & pepper shaker for Christmas. He was "tired of the picnic ones we always use." They were not on my list but I guess that is okay. :-)
Tucker and Tae.
Cooper again.
So this was the best gift I got today! It is a bag made by my neice Kelsey! She posted about them on Facebook and Dennis asked her to make one for me. Isn't it the cutest thing!?
Here's the best part. This is the note that she attached to the bag. So you can see from the note that the lace & button on the bag are from my mom's sewing supplies. The note is written on the button card from Sears. It has to be pretty old judging from the tag and how long ago it was that Sears was in Idaho Falls and mom would have shopped there. It made me cry when I read it!
So here is a close up of the button. Best gift ever.
I realized after I uploaded all the pictures that I didn't have one of Dennis which I should since he is the one who asked for the bag for me. Again, best gift ever!!!! Love it. I'm a lucky woman for sure.
