It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year...

...there's a tree that needs chopping, more gifts that need shopping, and loved ones are near- it's the most wonderful time of the year!

Okay cheesy, I know. But I'm still a little sleep-deprived from all the activity around here. It has been super busy, but sooooo worth it. Here's the proof:

All ready to go over the river and through the woods to find our tree.

The gang is all happy- this lasts for a full 2 minutes.

The girls ditch the boys for hot cocoa in the van.

The men return victorious!

Kids + Snow = a lot of work!

Cousin Michael holds their attention with one of his books on weaponry.

We packed the church! Holden was there too, but left before we could get a picture.

Jake was soooo huggy!
