Christmas season

 The first tree we cut down in our bush at the back of our farm didn't pass muster.

 Michael and Carly carry out the tree that suited us better.

Santa came to Isabel and Bill's place and Samantha sat on his lap to get her gift.

 Jake having a visit with Santa before getting his gift.

 Cooper was next.

 Jericho.

 

 Hudson.

 Danika.

 Max wasn't so sure about this.

  

But the gift was nice.

Going to The Forest to Find the Tree

A great day to get a tree although some snow on the ground would have been nice. A bit more festive

Maaike's Birthday and a Visit with Santa

 Maaike was 33 on November 26, 2012. Wow

 Drayden was helping Mommy get the cake ready.

 Drayden has his "Thomas the Train" set up downstairs in the rec room.

 All of the "little engines that could" have a home in the toy box.
