Our Christmas Tree 2010

Here are a couple of photos of our Christmas Trees, yes plural, for 2010. Reagan has her very own pink tree in her room this year!

She thought she was such a big girl to have her own tree

Winter Time

While it wasn't much, we did have our first snowfall of the year today. And as we watched the snow fall, we decorated our tree.

can you see the snow?

Reagan was so excited to help decorate the tree this year
She hung each ornament with care

So proud of her work

Why is it so hard to get a natural smile out of her?

When Cooper woke from his nap, he was ready to inspect the tree

"Looks good Reagan"

Here's a little video of the snow falling

Haunted Houses

We made our annual haunted houses this weekend ~ and this year, Cooper got to make one of his own!

Want some?

He wanted to eat the candy so bad!

Cooper's finished house...

Reagan finished hers on Sunday because she still wasn't feeling well on Saturday

It's getting scary in our house

The Planners & The Party

Today is Greg's 44th birthday and the kids have been working all week on his party, decorations, and making his presents. Reagan may have a future in party planning!

On Tuesday, Reagan and Cooper made posters to hang on the wall

She paid close attention to detail

Cooper was proud of his work

On Wednesday, they made cupcakes. Cooper was quality control!

Pouring in the mix

Reagan's turn to help out

Mix, mix, mix

The kids also wrapped and decorated the presents they had made on Monday (somehow, I missed getting pictures of them painting!)

they also made cards for Greg

Cooper did a great job wrapping presents

Reagan did pretty well herself

On Thursday, Reagan added her special touch to the cupcakes ~ sprinkles!

She was so excited to give her daddy a party

It was time for the decorations to be put up!

We even bought special plates and napkins for the party

The cupcakes look delicious

Time to eat ~ pizza
