making christmas cookies

I've got a real love of frosted cookies. This year I put almond extract in when making the frosting instead of vanilla and let me tell you... Delish! I think we got a little crazy this year with the colors. After we were done I looked at the boys and said... it looks like a bunch of kindergarterns decorated these. Notice the Packer and Patriot gingerbread man:)

first real snowfall

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

It's a Family tradition that we hunt for our christmas tree and cut it down ourselves. No different this year. Katie found our perfect tree, I was the officially stick and camera holder, Matty cut it down and then Matty and Katie dragged it out of the woods.

Note to self - Matty will cut my head off in pictures just so he gets a good picture of my belly.

This was a happy picture before the tree fell down... it's now tied to the wall:)
