Welcome to the Christmas edition of getting to know your friends.
1. Wrapping paper or gift bags? Although I refuse to let my mom use gift bags for my presents, it is usually my wrapping of choice. I will always use wrapping paper for my children, though.
2. Real tree or artificial? Artificial - I would love to start a tradition of going and cutting down a real tree when the boys are old enough, however, I'm not sure if it's worth the mess and risk of fire.
3. When do you put up the tree? No later than Thanksgiving weekend
4. When do you take the tree down? My husband usually takes it down for me after seeing the tree still standing through February.
5. Do you like eggnog? I've actually never tried it.
6. Favorite gift received as a child? Chicago Bulls tickets
7. Do you have a nativity scene? I received one as a wedding gift but have yet to put it up due to my precious little Gavin.
8. HARDEST PERSON TO BUY FOR: We have opted out of almost every gift exchange we have so I don't really have an answer for this one.
9.Easiest person to buy for? Clint
10. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? I've been pretty fortunate so far.
11. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail, unless I don't have an address.
12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Christmas Vacation and Elf
13. When do you start shopping for Christmas? Black Friday
14. Have you ever recycled a Christmas present? I will never tell!
15. Favorite thing to eat at Christmas? mashed potatoes, Grandma Annie's pork chops, creme horns, and pecan pie
16. Clear lights or colored on the tree? Clear - I believe I will have a tree with colored lights next year for the boys.
17. Favorite Christmas song? O Holy Night - Jessica Simpson or Mariah Carey, What Child Is This? and Breath of Heaven- Jessica Simpson
19. Can you name all of Santa's reindeers? Not even close! I better start studying!
20. Angel on the tree top or a star? Neither - Our tree is 6 ft tall so it hits the top of our ceiling. It's one of those pencil trees and needs to be shortened!
21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? Usually Christmas morning
22. Most annoying thing about this time of year? Wal-Mart check-out lines!
23. Do you decorate your tree in any specific theme? Yes, right now it is bright colored ornaments with snowmen.

"OH THE WEATHER OUTSIDE IS FRIGHTFUL...!"
We are experiencing our first ice/snow storm of the season! Here are some pictures of Gavin and Daddy getting outside to run off some energy!
"We're cute...and we know it!"
Gavin trying on his new boots from Waylon. They have been great for the snow, but Gavin really likes to wear them inside. Thanks, Waylon!
Getting geared up with lots of fleece!
Whoa! This is quite slippery! Good thing I have lots of padding!
This works better, Dad!
But I don't want to go inside!
I always get my way! 
Daddy and Gavin checking out the neighbors snowman. Gavin loves to look at it out the window!HO HO HO!

"Santa" still needs a little more strength in his neck to get full use out of his Bumbo seat!
"I can do anything you can do better...!"

Our First Plane Ride
For those of you who do not know, my sister got married on November 17th in Scottsdale, AZ. Clint could not afford to use his sick days so he was not able to attend. The boys and I flew out with my parents and grandparents so I had lots of help. It was quite an adventure!
