Downtown...

Can you here the song?  Doooowwwn towwwwnnn!!  I think that was our theme last week when we brought the kids with us on what was going to be our 13 year dating anniversary out.  Our sitter cancelled at the last minute so we took them with us.  We hit all our favorites and frankly it was a great way to celebrate.  In pictures...

Sweets

There was some serious cookie and ginger bread eating...I mean making...this Christmas.  Good thing we got dev into the dentist before the holidays.  Here are some pics of the various events involving frosting.

The 2013 tree hunt

We found a new place to get a tree this year and we are thinking it is a keeper.  Ever since the church a block away stopped selling them a couple years ago we've been with out a 'go-to' tree lot.  It's about three miles south east of us but its got a little hike to see some old growth trees, and a ton of the you-cut nobles that we love.  Santa was there and of course hot chocolate and free antlers.

Before and AFTER

Let's just say the boy know what he wants.  Nick and I pretty much tried everything to get him to change his mind but he wanted a "military" hair cut.  Bitter sweet because his bright blond locks were so much a part of his personality but nick and I agree, if at all possible he is even more confident now that he made such a big decision in his own.  He's 4.5 and it feels he's growing up super fast these days.  Still a good lookin kid.
