Picking "just the right tree"

Every year we go to the tree farm and pick a real tree. Usually Derrick has the final say in which one we bring home. This year he let the kids pick and to our surprise, they chose a small one with a skinny trunk. It was so small we had trouble getting it to stay in the tree stand. That was after we had to fight with Broc who kept wanting ones that had were as tall as his knee! Derrick says next year he's back to making the final decision. We had fun and are looking forward to next year.

Libby Lu...

Taylor's Girl Scout Troop went to Libby Lu as a treat and Taylor came home all decked out looking like she was at least 13..... What a beautiful daughter we have! Jake hates it when boys look at his sister, he's so protective of her, and I'm so thankful!

Sisters goofin' around....

We went out to eat for our Anniversary and took Mike and Shannon with us. After eating we went to the mall in Kokomo to look at the We Care trees. It was a nicce night. Derrick had remembered we had the camera in the car from Halloween so we took this picture for fun. Later Derrrick printed it out and put it in a Sisters frame for Shannon. It's not one of our finest moments but I took it in the dark, while we were going down the road, with one hand.

Father and Daughter love....

Helping Daddy in the kitchen...
