Our Little, Everyday Adventures: November 2009

Busy, busy, busy! I logged onto blogger and realized I haven't posted since September!
We celebrated a birthday & pumpkin festival, visited with Memah and Bee Bee, got used to a school routine...well anyway, here's a little slideshow with the highlights!

So begins the holiday season...ours started with a nice, quiet Thanksgiving at home. Jason cooked the entire meal (with a little help from the boys).

Getting ready to eat--Cooper whining, Jason being cheesy and Jackson doing God knows what.

Gravy anyone?

Cooper showing me his BIG full belly~

Cooper and Mom

Coop helping to clean up after dinner. It's a big job!

We went to pick out our Christmas tree today in Springfield, Vermont. We find it is worth the 45 minute drive. We chose a tree from a farm right in Keene last year and were pretty disappointed with our sad looking tree (scraggly, malnourished tree from last year pictured below)

First thing we had to do was visit with Santa!

Telling Santa what we want for Christmas.

Video of Jackson telling Santa what he "doesn't need" this year. Cooper froze at the opportunity. Just stared at Santa

This Santa was way better than the last Santa that they had at this farm. We think the last one was hungover or just doesn't like kids (pictured below, glaring out from below his tinted glasses)

The men on the hunt for the perfect tree~

Jason scoping out the prospective winner~

Yep, this is the one!

Obligatory butt shot~

Watching the dude put our tree on the tractor~

Of course, had to do one of these~

Gettin' er strapped on top~

How hard is it to get a nice picture of your children in front of the newly decorated Christmas tree? If you have my children...very hard. I had to make them hug for this picture.
