A few pics...

Tonight when Rod got home from work we worked on the ol' Christmas Family picture. This one of the girls is cute...



It's definately better than this one...



After we finished the Christmas photo, we went to get a tree. Rod was going to just bring one home on his way home from work, but he had to hurry home before it got dark so we could have our photo shoot. Then we went all together to get the tree. I'm glad we did. The girls had a blast, and the tree place was really fun for them. There were lights all around, a huge fake snowman, and they loved looking at all the trees.




This isn't the tree we got, ours doesn't have dead spots...but this picture had Lizzie in it...

Rod & Lizzie.....


Anyway, that's the first week back of Christmas preps! We decorated inside, and it's starting to feel a little more like Christmas. The leaves on our trees are again covering the grass, and I actually had to wear long sleeves today. I even got to wear a scarf tonight at the tree farm!

This is our nativity that I'm so excited about! I've never had a nativity to display before, and the Willow Tree one that's really nice is crazy expensive. I found this one from christianbook.com for $30!! It's resin, so it doesn't break (at least not easily) and it looks awesome. Anyway, I'm really excited about it, so I had to post a picture..

fun pictures...your nativity is very nice. we have a chocolate one in our house. not quite as classy. plus i'm sure there will be a fight over who gets to eat baby Jesus. :) jk...

the picture where Lizzie's face is covered makes me laugh. That would be really funny if you sent that as your Christmas card.

Carrie, I love your pictures, the girls are so cute. The pic with Lizzies face covered is hilarious.I love the sign you made, very cute idea! That is so exciting you got to wear a scarf! Our water pipes have frozen the last 2 mornings, rending showering not possible. So here I sit in Nubieber next to the ol wood stove, in my bathrobe, throwing logs on the fire wishing I had running water. Hmmm.

I'm not sure why it says the comment is by Troy, that's never happened before. I figure you all know it's Brooke.
