The boys helped as much as they can at ages 2 and 1. Logan really liked pressing out the sugar cookies and I finally just gave up and gave Cody his own piece of cookie dough to play with. Logan was actually pretty good a frosting the cookies. And he didn't eat that much cookie dough or frosting!
Then Sunday morning we went and got our Christmas tree. We've got a Christmas Tree farm 2 miles from our house so we just decided to go there this year. We all got bundled up in our cold gear and headed out to the tree farm at 9 am. There was no one there when we got there so that was nice. We of course wanted to cut our own tree so we brought a sled with and loaded the boys in that and set out to find the perfect tree. Brian and I haven't actually paid for a Christmas tree yet...we usually get one off our land or get one from Dan and Betty...so needless to say we were a little shocked at the tree prices. But we got over that and found the perfect tree. Logan blessed it and said it was the right one so Brian cut it down and off we went back to the barn. Mom was pulling the boys in the sled and Dad was pulling the tree on the plastic sheet they give you, everyone having a great time...until...Mom didn't see the tree stump under the snow and accidentally tipped the sled over. Whoops...poor Cody went face first into a big pile of while fluffy snow. The poor kid was not happy...as any one would be if they were given a full-on snow wash in 9 degree weather. I felt horrible and Brian was not happy with me. Poor Cody wouldn't stop crying, so our nice family outing turned into a crying-fest. We switched it up and had Dad pull the boys in the sled as fas as he could back to the barn and Mom pulled the tree. We passed a family we knew at one point and they were giving Brian crap about making me pull the tree...hehe...
After getting home and getting Cody warmed up in a nice hot shower the snow wash was fast forgotten...at least by Cody...he still loves me! That night we decorated the tree and Logan really got into it...see for yourself...

Sounds like a fun day (except for the white wash Cody ended up with)! ;) Why did you unplug the lights when you were decorating? Do you have an ornament w/ your address on it? I heard you blurt out, "431 Polk St Croix Road!" and one point and was sort of excited that maybe you joined me in the terrets (sp) club! ;)
Hehe I unplugged the tree cause it's easier to see where to "fill-in" with ornaments without the lights on. And yes we have an an ornament with our address on it that's why I blurted our our address. :-)
