O Christmas Tree

Before we were blessed with Alyse, Tim and I went to a tree farm to cut down our own tree. I couldn't wait to share this fun with our child and now the time has come! On a warm Virginia day we went to Ralph' s Tree farm to find our perfect Christmas addition. Alyse called it "an ocean of tree's" as we searched for the one we would take home. It didn't take us long, the chosen tree was hugged and when we asked if is this it "YES" with a little dancing, came the reply!

Feasting 09

Once again it is that time of year...the ultimate day of gluttony! We actually both took Wednesday off and

drove up our favorite interstate (haha) 95 to

PA! It was great time with family and food. Alyse loved readying about the first "feast" and continued to call Thanksgiving a Feast.

On our "day off" we took cousin Erin to the infamous Choo

Choo barn for a peak at the huge models they have set up.

Life under the big top and life with the Amish barn raising, in which their arms were moving!

I just had to take a pic of the wedding happening downtown

Alyse helped in the rolling of the making of the dinner rolls!

For the big Feast we all met at the mayor of Wrightsville house for consumption of the good stuff!after the feasting we took a big walk and then chill time with the Family!

Fun with Pumpkins

Well our first planned day to go the pumpkin patch was a rain out :( Believe it or not so was our second day, bummer. So we just went to the farm and picked out our favorites that they had already picked. When we brought them home they became the "new" thing to play with! Great fun on a rainy day!

Alyseisms

It is so much fun having a two year old around the house. She is so inquisitive and curious about everything. For example we were downtown by UMW and she asked where everyone is going. I told her "college". Then we talked about people we know who go to college. She paused for a while then said "I want to go to college.." Then I explained it would be a while and she responded by saying "Patience, Mommy".

For some reason Tim decided to teach her to say "I smell like a cheese steak". She said to me the other day "Does mommy smell like a cheese steak?"
