Christmas Trees, Santa Clause & Christmas Parties

December 11: Finding the Perfect Tree:

Actually it was more like finding a decent tree that was cheap! This is the only picture we got from hunting for our Christmas tree because it was soooo cold that night. This was right before Crew totally ate it on the ground and scraped up his hands. Lets just say he was not a happy camper after that.

He loved helping decorate the tree! I am surprised that more of our balls didn't get broken as he tried to play bouncing balls with them! What else would you do with a fun shiny ball?

I just love this cheeser!

December 14: Going to See Santa at the Mall:

Waiting in line. Crew has the fake smile down.

Loving the dog that was in front of us in line.

I think it seemed like eternity for him to wait to see santa.

Finally it was Crew's turn!

He was so cute. The first thing he ask him was, "Santa where's your sleigh?" It was on the roof, of course! He was saying the funniest things!

December 16: Broc's Work Party:

Broc and some people from his work decided they wanted to provide some entertainment so they formed a little band of their own. Practiced together maybe twice, but pulled off some incredible tunes! Broc played the drums for a few songs and his guitar for some others. Give it up for the G-Gnomes!

They had a piano,

bass,

violin and bells,

and even a tambourine!

I think this was my favorite. They played the Jason Mraz version of Winter Wonderland.

December 18: White Elephant Party with Friends:

It is always so good to get together with friends! It was so weird because we didn't have Crew. Crew randomly last minute ended up going to Idaho with Grandma and Grandpa to see some cousins. There was a mean white elephant exchange but luckily Broc got his "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" movie!

Last time with the Wests. We will miss you guys!

Broc and Craig taking pictures of each other!

Cute little Jesse!

Good times and great company! Thanks for a great party!
