Yay! I know you are just so excited!!
Let's start with Thanksgiving...
Grandparents and parents gathered together to watch the many kids programs
Our Thanksgiving table consisted of family and friends alike. My parents (affectionately known to all kids as Ge-Pa and Grandma). And the Fabulous 7 Family...
Anyhoo, on with the show...
Relaxing vacation time during Thanksgiving
My favorite Christmas tradition dinner/shopping with my siblings

My beautiful 9 yr old
Who has a goofy side to her as well!!
Annual tree hunt....
We found her...
the girls named it Cha-Bella because they compromised between the names Bella and Chubby....
Family Christmas letter photo 2012
And I have to laugh at these pictures because while trying to capture this beautiful scene of the three princesses trampsing after their father carrying this tree my fun-loving Princess #2 turns around and does this....
Prince Charming shot two does during hunting season this year so our freezer is well stocked
Annual Christmas Food Night where we create gingerbread houses
This year we created a village and Prince Charming and I were in charge of the gas station
We also had a church, a grocery store, a post office, a hardware store, & fire department.

Aren't they just the cutest things ever!?!

It seems that Grandma is not the only crafty one... hats made by Ge-Pa
Mommy and Princess #1
Daddy and Princess #2 (matching Camo so they can hunt together)
And I think that Ge-Pa should make Grandma matching hat with Princess #3 so I can take a picture of them together... hint, hint!!
Cousins...

The day after Christmas was declared PJ/game day
Two days later we got our first snow... 12 inches
The kids enjoyed playing
While Daddy snowblowed/shoveled
We took a trip to church to play with rollarblades
