The boys and I blong to a great mom's group here. Tonight we met up and the kids and moms made christmas houses. Our hostess made these cute little house from graham crackers and icing, then the kids decorated them with candy. Roman was more into eating the house after it was "decorated."

Trinity and yet another little Roman.
Roman's very bestest friend, Kristofer.
Patty, our hostess, and Rochell

So, on the way home Roman broke into the houses and devoured them.

2 empty plates tell all!

Yum Yummy!
Roman did share the goodies! Griffin was covered in royal icing from head to toe.

They Love Each Other!

They Love each other, they really love each other!!

November 29, 2008. A few families from the Coast Guard group in Seattle that Rich works with were going "hunting" for their Christmas trees up in the mountains. Even though we didn't need a tree we decided to tag along. It was a really fun time.

Luckily one of the girls who went was a great photographer, and took a family picture for us.



We literally just pulled over and climbed up the side of the hill into a thick line of evergreens.

This picture reminds of the movie where those teenagers got lost in the forrest and video taped themselves freaking out.... Blairwitch Project. He looks lost in the forrest.

Daddy and Griffin.

I'm really glad we weren't looking for a Christmas tree! There were so many trees everywhere, it would have been too much for my inability to make a decision!

Roman did have fun, although I kinda drug him most of the way.

This was almost a good family picture, Roman was just too excited to pose....

Griffin slept great in the fresh outdoors.

Mommy and Roman

When the hill side got too steep, we came back down. The kids had a blast playing the the back of one of the guy's trucks.

Roman really didn't want to go when it was time. I told him we had to go, or he'd have to ride home in the back of the truck with the Christmas tree... he was totally fine with that!

Griffin did some foot work on the road, he's getting much better at practicing.

We really had a nice day exploring. Next year maybe we'll actually have to get our very own tree!
