  Forgive me if I've posted these pictures before.  This was our first Christmas after we were married.  We decided to get a Christmas tree on December 23rd.  The selection was pretty bad, but I'm sure we didn't pay much. We loaded the tree into the truck of our Mazda (there were pine needles in there forever!), and brought it back to our apartment in Provo.  
   We didn't bother buying a tree stand.  Jeff "made" one out of an old shelf.  It still didn't stand up straight, so we tethered it to the window pull with an old telephone cord.  (Ghetto?)  Picking the tree out in the dark, we didn't realize that it was flat across the top. Nothing putting a mini fake tree on top wouldn't fix.
Good times, good times.

I wish you could hear the giggles coming from this laundry basket as Bailey played hide and seek with the kids.

  We went out to eat tonight, and when we pulled into the garage, Ryan said he was stuck.  I don't know what was going on in the backseat, but this is how the boys looked.  Their arms were stuck outside of their shirts.

Christmas Day









Last Christmas I was going to post a video I made, but couldn't get it to work and then forgot about it.  I got it to work, click here to see it.

Happy Christmas Eve!


I only have pictures of these two kids making their houses because the others were long done.  As you can probably see, Ryan and Bailey needed every surface covered with frosting/candy.
