Oh Christmas Tree....

What have we been up to?
What HAVEN'T we been up to?

Rugby.....






Sam had a going away party for his good friend who is moving to Singapore...






Parent teacher conferences......





Trying on new underwear from Grandma....




I've been volunteering at Sam's school, 
we've been doing swim lessons, 
play dates and for the most part just trying to keep our heads above water. 



We did go to The Policeman's Museum & Playground this past weekend. 
Here's the entrance.....





If you make it to the top there's a wheelchair/ stroller ramp by the front door.....
















Oh Christmas Tree....Oh Christmas Tree....

When I first met Phil he had a small fake tree decorated exclusively with Nascar ornaments. 
Our Second Christmas we were in Maui on our Honeymoon, so it doesn't get much better than that. 
Our next few Christmases we had a hand me down fake tree from my parents, that was severely bent in the middle. 

Last year we had a small but cute fake tree. 

This year, for some reason, I had vision of a Martha Stewart meets Pottery barn meets Hong Kong tree......

Something like this....





Here's what we ended up with....



Christmas tree failure. 
Oh well, there's always next year. 




Daddy took the boys out Monday night while I got my hair cut.....

While Phil is a very good Dad, it occurred to me while hearing the boys recap the night, that I've basically produced three best friends for Phil to hang out with.....





Get into trouble with......




indulge in bad food with......




Hopefully they let Mom tag around every once in a while.








Speaking of Moms....
We made Mama T's sugar cookies yesterday......
Messy, fun and very tasty! 




Happy Thanksgiving!
To our family and friends in the US...we miss you all dearly. 
Most of you anyway.
