The Christmas Tree Grew

January 2010

Our tree grew while we were gone for 2 weeks!  We must have taken great care of it I guess.  Maybe this happens to all trees but I have never seen it so I though it was cool to see all this growth all over our tree.  This was the day we took our Christmas Tree down and I was very sad to do it.  It makes our house so warm and welcoming and I just loved it.  Plus it was our first Christmas Tree and I was sad to see it go so I got a few pictures of it before we disposed of it.

You can see all the growth where there are little spikes hanging down all over.

Winter Fun

December 2009

We went sledding with the Hallows at it was a lot of fun.  The kids were having a blast and it wasn't even that cold.  Ladd and I went down a couple of times and it was a pretyy good hill--you got some good speed on it. Brant and his family were there, Kade and his boys were there, Grandma and Grandpa and we were there too.

We got Bostyn all bundled up and warm which was pointless because she slept most of the time except for a few minutes before we left.  Oh well, I guess better warm than sorry right?

Scrub Dub, Splashin in the Tub

Bostyn is still new at sitting up but I figure she would have more fun in the tub sitting up and being able to play.  It was very slick in the tub and I had to keep a close watch but she did pretty good at she liked it.

Christmas Eve 2009

December 2009

We spent Christmas Ever this year with the Anderson's.  We had a lot of fun.  Of course it was chaotic and very noisy, but how could it not be when we have the whole family together?  I loved it and we had a great time spending it with the ones we love. 

Bostyn liked her toy she got to open on Christmas Eve.

This is our little family

My first!

December 2009

This was Bostyn's first time sitting up.  One day we were at Grandma and Grandpa Anderson's and Grandpa asked if she could sit up yet and we said, we can't, but then again we have never tried so we tried right then and she just sat up!  It was so funny becasue she acted like she just knew how to do it with no worries.  She had a few falls but she actually didn't mind.  She would just lay there and waited for someone to sit her back up.  She was five and a half months when she could do this.

This is me and Bostyn.  She likes to do this trick a lot where she just stands on my hands.  She thinks it is fun.
