christmas is coming...

for the past 9 years... the pruitts and the hoelzles have gone christmas tree "hunting". on the 2nd or 3rd year, the nortons joined in with us. we've been to about 4 or 5 different farms. it's pretty fun. the weather is always an adventure. rain. bitter cold wind. 80 degrees. you name it. we've been through it... except for snow. hopefully one day...!

so for all you rookies out there. you get to the farm, grab a saw... and start hunting. that's always interesting... trying to find "the one", because there is "one". it's not that you could pick any and make it work. no. height, girth, fullness, color, holes, the top, and of course - the over all presentation of the pine.

this year it was cold and rainy... but that's nothin' a little hot chocolate can't cure.

a little too cold for jack jack.

partners in crime (that goes for the pic above and below!). ella decided to sit this pic out... and jackson, too.

i know what you're thinking... lolo with the saw. but nobody got hurt... this time. and don't underestimate the power of the "hay ride" even if there's no hay. it'll make or break the trip. you and the kids will gumble about the lousy and lazy farm if you don't get some kind of a ride!

triplets in crime...roastin' peanuts is a great way to pass the time. this farm was pretty good. they had a great selection and a the few little free perks that make you want to come back because the kids thought it was great... inspite of the cold cold cold wind, rain and mud.now it's time to put up the tree. this year was really fun. the girls did great! cindy kinda' parked it in the middle of the floor and handed out stuff! but wait... daddy gets to put the lights on first! ha!




we hope you celebrate the birth of God who became flesh because He loves us so much during this Christmas season.
our family has gotten involved with a sudo version of www.adventconspiracy.org . check it out. it's so worth it. we're looking forward to this years worship, giving, and joy.

less than 24 hours...

the girls are doing great at being big sisters. they love cooper so much and we are so proud of them. it got a little crazy last night in the hospital room... so... thank goodness for grandma and pawpaw for taking them home! they didn't get much sleep the night before, but they'll be back on their routine now!
aubrey is really good at holding coop. he's less than one hour old in this pic!
cindy got the girls shirts that say "i'm the big sister" for lolo, & "i'm the bigger sister" for aubrey.
lolo is a big sis for the first time... and she's taking it very serious! they are both great big sisters. we are proud of them.

we love cooper so much. may God be glorified with his life.

kiss my grits... not a happy day


today... november 30, 2007
it's a bad day.
on the way home from school today, aubrey told me that a boy kissed her hand and then blew "kissies" (as she says) at her and chased her around the playground.
i said "WHAT?"
and she wispered... "he has a crush on me"
i said "what's a crush?"
"that means that he likes me"
"WHO WAS IT?" a boy named hayden.

i'll trust you won't reveal to her that i've shared this with you. and frankly, this will be the last that the matter will be discussed. she will not be around boys for the next 18 years (that way she'll be 25. yes, that sounds reasonable...
