Bad Tree

Two days after we set it up...it came down.

Damn Tree!

Christmas Tree Adventures

We got our Christmas tree on a rainy Wednesday evening, on a day when Evan decided he didn't need a nap. Recipe for disaster! By the time we finally found a decent tree, it was starting to get dark. As we were pulling the tree to the place where they shake it off and wrap it off, I kept saying...I think this tree is dead. It was hard to tell though, because, like I said, it was getting dark. Well after they shook it off, I knew we were in trouble. Calm before the storm.Christmas tree meltdown!

A few days later we finally brought our tree in to be decorated....

this is what was left.

After we got the light and ornaments on it didn't look as bad. We had a good laugh about the whole thing. Moral of the story...don't buy your tree in the dark!

Boys!!

This morning I went into Evan's room to wake him up, and this is how I found him...

...Wearing his underwear on the outside of his pj's. Too cute!

Holiday Parade

The Saturday after Thanksgiving we met our friends John and Carrie and Stephanie in Akron for the holiday parade. It was a pretty nice day, and by that I mean the sun came out for a few hours. The kids looked so cute all bundled up in their winter gear.

Thanksgiving

This year we hosted the Crowley family at our house for Thanksgiving. We had a great turn out, I think every Crowley who lives in Ohio made it for dinner! Everybody helped with the food the drinks, we had a delicious feast. After dinner Bill, Evan, and I headed over to my mom's house for dessert with the Chrisopulos family and some Hantzsches were there too!
