Christmas Tree!

We had a very busy but good Thanksgiving...we kept Chet, Amanda, Reid, and Heather overnight for two nights and had plans four nights in a row (our Thanksgiving with friends on Wed., Wagenbach family on Thurs., supper at Brent and Kay's on Fri., and Beutel Thanksgiving on Sat.).  I feel bad for not writing any blog about it, but Saturday the 26th was also our 5th anniversary.  Happy anniversary, sweetie!  Time flies when you're having fun! :)  (We celebrated by getting 95% of our Christmas shopping done and going out for lunch together...it was super!)  By the time Sunday rolled around, I was ready for some down time.  We stayed home, made pizza with the kids, and decorated our little Christmas tree.  Maybe not totally relaxing, but fun nonetheless!


Max and Nora patiently waiting for instructions

Max carefully placing the pineapple (Greg stepped in or else we would have been there all night as Max placed each piece on the pizza individually!)...

...the delicious finished product!  This Hawaiian pizza was pretty tasty. :)

Then, it was on to the tree!

Three of my absolute favorite people...what cuties!

Can't forget the star!  What a Christmasy princess!

Admiring the finished product.  You all did great, kids!  (And Daddy!)
