Picking our Christmas Tree at Frosty's

Ever since we moved to Santa Clarita in 2007 we have been picking our tree at Frosty's just down the street. This year we went on Saturday, December 17. There was no one else there when we arrived and later one other family came to pick a tree. We went with an 8 footer this year. Owen just loved his "big tree". Laney was all smiles too.

We had a grand adventure to Pittsburgh. Some of the highlights included:
*Two great flights
*Jeanie, Owen and momma walking to St. Andrew's (where momma and daddy got married) to watch the bagpipers.
*Owen picking fresh carrots for dinner for Jeanie's garden.
*Playing at Highland Park with Sam and walking at the Reservoir with momma and daddy.
*Helping Uncle Bruce work on his bike.
*Peeling apples with Grandma for apple pie.
*Raking leaves and jumping in them with Jeanie.
*Playing with Ben
*Visiting Tia Kim, Anthony and Katie in Ohio and meeting up with old friends at a fun reunion at Tia Stephanie's. While there, we visited the new Hudson Library too. Grandpa accompanied us on the two day trip. So fun to see Michelle and her beautiful Angie, Kim M. and her two awesome growing boys Matthew and Andrew, and Stephanie with her son Bryce. Owen, Anthony, Katie, and Laney all had a blast and can't wait til the next adventure!
*Thanksgiving Day at Connie's with Uncle Walter, Lillian and Buzz, Donny and Susie, cousins Connie, Ed, Susie, Syndee, Canaan, Evan, Chris, Joan, and Dallas, and so many family and friends!
*Grandma and Grandpa's 40th anniversary party
*Pizza lunch with everyone (30+) on Saturday
*poor Laney's first ear infection :( (not a highlight- but very memorable. Luckily she was not in pain on the flights.)
There are lots more (and better pictures) from daddy's camera and other friends that I will hopefully be able to post soon. In the meantime, here are some from my phone. Enjoy!
