Welcome to our crazy life....

When I grew up I had the wonderful benefit of living a bike ride away from both sets of grandparents. Not so lucky are our kids. Even for the actual ones that live in Atlanta, it's still a about an hours drive away! So, this blog will have to serve as the next best thing to riding our bikes to see the grandparents. Enjoy watching our kids learn and grow one day at a time...

Christmas Tree Cutting '09

Every year we go down to Worthington's Tree farm and cut a real Christmas tree. It's a tradition David's family started and we are carrying it on. This year we got two trees, on for inside and one for the play house!

Madie occupied herself with "hugging" the trees while the kids searched for just the right one to cut down.

We tried to let Elizabeth and Caleb cut the tree down themselves, but it was just a little too hard.

Then the kids favorite part....jumping from the hay stack. (Madie slid down instead) Every year they can't wait to leap off the top and fly through the air. And every year they get home and are super soar the next morning!

I also tried to capture a picture of all 4 in hopes one might work for our Christmas photo cards.....alas, no luck!

Madie appears to enjoy tree hugging. Looks like a fun day for all.
