Christmastime

Tessa has been asking for this little Rudolf every time we go to the grocery store. I kept telling her "next time", so last week I finally asked if we could get one when we were in the check-out line. They came back to tell us they were all sold out. Tessa looked at me with very sad eyes. I asked if they were getting more and they said they didnt know (I was feeling bad at this point). Finally the sale associate came back and said we could have the display if we wanted it. I jumped on that, and said to bring it over. Tessa looked at me and said, "Whew, that was a close one". Now the kids tell everyone ours was the last Rudolf in the whole store.

We tried to get a few family pictures for our Christmas cards--here are a few I like. Thanks Amy Beth for taking them.

I love this one because they all look so happy.

By the end we were all done!

Tessa's preschool had a gingerbread house making day. It was a fun time. Hathaway liked eating the candy the most and Tessa liked being with her friend Nina the best.

Saturday morning Bryce and the kids went and cut down our Christmas tree (I staye home with Hathaway who was sick). They picked out a really nice tree for us this year.

Hathaway doesnt look happy in this picture but I had to put it in since she looked so cute in this dress. It was the dress that my mom made for me for my first birthday.
