I have been a total slacker with my blog lately. I'm repenting, and here's some recent pics.
One of our favorite Family Traditions is to go and cut down our Christmas Tree. We went on Saturday with Ben's sister, Amber and her family. Thanks for the Wild goose Chase- Amber! ;)
We found an amazing tree. No- it's not quite the 18 feet tall that last year's was. Only 14 feet. But it's just perfect- as the Angel is perfectly centered in the top window. Here's the tree in the back of the truck (well, kinda in the back- I guess it's mostly on TOP of the truck) Oops- I missed the top 6 inches of the tree in this pic. oh well.
The kids love to pull out the Santa hat to wear while we are decorating the tree. Then the hat has to go on the Elk on the wall, otherwise they fight all season long over who gets to play with the hat. (It'd probably be eaiser to just buy each of them their own hat- huh)
I LOVE this picture of Doodle! He's always so hard to get a picture of- but this one turned out so darn cute. It shows his mischievious little grin.
I can't believe Bug has grown so much. He's such a great kid. So responsible, and always looking out for his younger brothers.
And my "baby" Roo. A neighbor at church mentioned on Sunday that he's lost that "baby look" and he's starting to look like a little boy. Yup- he's growin up.
Doodle, standing on the bar stool- to reach to decorate higher on the tree.
Doodle and Roo hanging their ornaments- We used the craft stick ornaments we made last year, and some red balls. It looks good.
The completed tree. Ben was worried there wouldn't be enough lights on it. I told him with a tree this big, it's not the lights that make it great- it's simply the size. :D

looks good!! We had fun too, and dinner after was great as well! Thanks for the great time! You can lead next year... or maybe we should go out this summer and pick them while it is nice!!:0)
My kids ask every year why we can't get a tree as big as The Deans. I think they are starting to understand that we don't have a tall beautiful space to put a huge tree like you guys do.
Bryan asked if we could cut a hole in the girls bedroom floor and let the tree go up through the floor to the upstairs.
At least we get to enjoy yours everytime we drive by.
You have a beautiful family. THanks for sharing your home with us!
