O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree..................

................and a BIRTHDAY GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today is our annual pick out your Christmas tree day. This year was a little different for several reasons: it was Aunt Tha's bday & Beau, Belle & boys had to go get there's yesterday, so Beau wasn't with us today. We all missed him so very much, but managed to have a great time.

Almost ALL the boys now in our family, Papa with 4 little boys (who would have ever thought the picture of Dad with 4 girls would someday be replaced with all grandsons???)

Gram & Papa with 4 little boys & Estes family in front of a tree we didn't get (we haven't been able to actually cut down a tree in years due to Cade's allergies)

Next we ALL head back to Gram & Papa's for pizza & bday cake.

Yay Yay always has a special treat for all little boys. This years pur was our favorite Veggie Tales Christmas cd. We actually got this very cd 3 years ago & have listened to it every single day (no lie) since. I think she is afraid it will soon be worn out so got the boys a replacement one. Tha loves pink cake with pink icing & I found purple sprinkles. YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
