Christmas Cookin'

Emily was melting sugar, butter and dates for our date balls. This was the first time we made them in THIS house. They turned out pretty good. The experts agree!












Thanks to Aunt Jeanie for this nice little goodie. Shame I didn't get Cmas colored M&Ms. Oh well, they still tasted yummy!











Another shot of the little cook.













This picture cracks me up! Alex wanted to take a picture and he got Daddy stealing a Date Ball!!!! Emily is like so how do they taste, I'm like- Rob they're not for you right now!!!! Priceless!









Rolling the date balls. Note to self: wait until the date mixture cools COMPLETELY before rolling!

2011 On the hunt for a Cmas Tree

Out at the tree farm with the family,













Walking up the hill to find just the right one.














The kids trying to find one. It was harder than I thought to find one like this. I think next year we'll just get one already pre cut and ready to go.
















I really like this one. Shame Alex is hidden in front of Emily.












The finished product. Ain't it pretty. Rob decided to put lights around the room and it'really looks nice. =)

An Evening with Ellie-Jo

Alex was into his Angry Birds.













My big helper. She was so great that night. She fed EJB while I fixed their dinner.










Lil miss Brown eyes and Lil Miss Blue eyes.














Having some tummy time.
