Christmas a little late...but better late then never, RIGHT?

It was a FREEZING the day we went to get a Christmas tree, but we were determined to go cut one down.
Our fearless tree cutter! Thanks Chad for braving the thorny berry bushes to go get 'just the right tree' for us.
Jordan trimmed the tree to get it ready for the stand. She was happy when dad came along with a saw to trim the branches since the bush clippers weren't working to well.
Morgan was delighted to see santa twice this year. She hasn't gotten to see him for a few years, but she was brave and sat on his lap.

Chad got a new sleeping bag...not sure he will have much need for it the last few months on the island, but hey he's prepared for that cold front to come in :)
Jordan was so happy to get a camera! A shutterbug in the making, just like her mom

Tori didn't let the 18" of snow on the ground keep her from trying out the slide they got. They can't wait for summer to add the water feature to the slide.
Everyone got involved in making cookies for santa. Cookies were brightly decorated and full of SUGAR!!!

You're such a good mom! A real Christmas tree, cookies for Santa, and a fun blow up slide with water!! All Nyah and Saibra had were their Grandparents christmas trees which they didn't get to help decorate and some Hickory Farms beefstick. (Nyah not Saibra of course haha) Looks like you had fun though! Miss you guys!
