Holiday Cheer

We did a mini-photo shoot with my little guy the other day. We tried to get one good shot for our Christmas cards. My model did okay, but grew restless quick. Thought I would share a few pics that were not chosen.

Ryder is loving everything Christmas so far. He loves the tree, ornaments, Christmas books, and movies.

I am not fond of his habit of hand picking ornaments off the tree daily, but we try to tell him to put them back. He usually runs over and throws the said ornament onto the tree.

Did I mention how much I love my little Moosh pork? He is into everything and using new noises daily. The latest growl is one of his favorite ways to communicate to us.

Can't wait for all the Holiday family time ahead.

Decoration time!

After the tree farm we returned to my parents to decorate the tree. The boys loved getting into all the ornaments and fake popcorn strings my mom has had since the 80's. I love to watch these 2 experience things for the first time. Now I need to get motivated to finish all the decorations here at home before Christmas is over!

We did not complete the tree so there is no end shot. Hope to get one when we return for Christmas in a few weeks. Can't wait to see my family and have lots of good food with laughs.

fun-filled-family adventure

Last weekend we packed up the family truckster and headed out to a tree farm near my parents in Oregon. We could not have had a more beautiful day in November. We had a good time and lots of laughs watching my dad and brother saw down the tree.
