We're all decorated & excited for the season! Yesterday we cut our tree and the girls & I decorated it. I love the smell of Christmas tree filling our home! Shyanne's birthday is this weekend and I'm excited to host her birthday party in our home with so much Christmasy stuff out! Pardon the poor quality of the pictures. Johnny has his work iPad for 2 weeks so I'm taking advantage of the camera & Internet capabilities to blog a little! I took beautiful pictures yesterday at the tree farm on my Canon but who knows when/if I'll ever get those posted. In the meantime, enjoy the small glimpses!

He is all smiles but STILL only teases us with an occasional laugh.   He is sleeping in his own bed now and doing soooo well!
