Alternative Christmas Tree

This weekend I pruned our fruit trees (which I love doing by the way). There is an especially big cherry tree that I topped off. It looked too cool just to throw away so I brought it inside to put somewhere for decoration or something. When Danielle saw it she thought it would make a cool Christmas tree. I agreed and so now we have a tree just like that. It is pretty untraditional but shoot. It looks better in real life than in these pictures, too.

First Big Snow

It's the first big snow of the year. We are supposed to get like 8 inches tonight. Bear and I went to the park by our house and he tried some snowboarding. There were bigger kids there doing jumps off a ramp they built and invited him over. The big kid said, "Hey Bear, you probably don't know me but I go to your school."
I was all, 'yes! Vicarious popularity!"

The Nelso-squalis reclaim Thanksgiving!!!!

Yesterday my parents came over and brought Thankgiving with them! Bear was so excited to learn Nonno and Susu were coming over. We had the real thing...turkey, green bean casserole, potatoes, gravy, stuffing, cranberries, etc...

Juneau loves Nonno, I could not satisfy him after they left. I think he went through withdrawls. They are quite the team! Juneau loves cuddling up to his Nonno and falling asleep. They keep each other very cozy.

This meant so much to Bear, i could see it on his face. He was very happy to have his Thanksgiving back, as well as a good first Thanksgiving for his little brother. He was feeling bad that Juneau was going to have to wait for a whole 'nother year. Thanks guys!!!!!
