Christmastime is Here

It's only December 2nd, but we have been busy getting ready for the holiday season. We have been decking the halls of our home and despite our colds, there have been a few outings. I am going to try to post at least one holiday themed picture each day this month.

As I have reflected on the past year, I realize that we have had many travels to visit family. I have not been able to post from these trips yet and would like to do so as a family 2012 retrospective. So some of the posts will be a current Christmas picture along with some family photos from the past year.

To kick things off, we have a picture of Jack bringing home the tree. Jasper and I weren't feeling too well, so Jack handled the task. What a surprise for this little guy!

Jack has been working hard, he also managed to get the outdoor lights up yesterday...

We went to Minnesota this past August to celebrate cousin Amanda's wedding. It was a wonderful chance for Jasper to meet some members of Jack's side for the fist time. They seemed to like him.

The ceremony.

My dapper fellows.

Posing with Great Aunt Mary.

Cousins! (Debbi and Todd)

Jasper got to spend some time with the ladies, starting with cousin Kristy. I think he was trying to look suave in this picture.

And the bride.

 

And cousin Ellie, one of the flower girls.

 Then it was time for a manly cigar tradition with cousins Cole, Cody, Clete, and dad.

Back to mom and all tuckered out.
