FUN weekend of trees & visitors

Well we did end up watching our friend's kids for a little bit on Saturday while they attended a concert on campus. It was alot of fun. First they played with toys, then we started a movie and then they were starting to loose interest in it, so i got out the stuff to decorate Sugar Cookies. That was alot of fun. Their oldest Hannah was great by herself. Kevin helped Landon, and then i pretty much did Gracie's for her...seeing how she will be 18 months old at the end of the month. So we got them all nice and sugared up for their drive home. LOL. We chatted for a few minutes and then we drove over to see their house they are purchasing. It's way nice and it will give them plenty of room for the kids to run around and play. We are looking forward to having them around.

Then Jeff & Barbara showed up. We had to run to Walmart to get a medicine dropper thingy for Karter's medicine. Then we ate dinner, decorated cookies, and started some cards, but we noticed that Karter was running a bit of a fever so we ended that so they could take care of him. So off to bed it was. Got up and kevin & I went to church on Sunday. We ate lunch and then off to the woods to cut down our Christmas trees. What an adventure. Kevin & I will need to invest in some true "winter wear". We were in jeans & hiking boots. LOL. Not the best gear to be walking around in knee high plus snow. We had a great time, Karter did fantastic! A little bit of a meltdown near the end, but he is a real trooper! So, i've posted tons of pictures below, so make sure you scroll down. Oh yeah, Barbara got the car stuck a little bit, that was fun doing some pushing to get it free. My friend said without fail they got stuck every year, i didn't think it would happen to us. We were stuck for a whole 15-20 mins maybe. So it was a true adventure. :)

Our tree in our house! We have trimmed a few branches, but we will decorate it tonight.
A happy Karter (with mom Barbara) in a nice warm car after cutting down our trees. The boys were still tying the trees on the car when i took this photo.
