Tree Cutting Day

We went out to get our Christmas Tree this weekend. The pickings were good and we got a nice tree. Not a lot of needles falling off of this tree like last year. I did the cutting, the kids did the pulling. Jaiden and Delaney took care of the decorations with Julie while we watched the Steelers clinch the AFC North against those no good criminal Baltimore Brownvens. The only thing missing so far this season is some of the good ole white stuff. With a bigger yard in the new house we would like the kids to make a nice big snowman (or snow family).

Nutcracker 2008

It's been over a Month since I last posted anything on the blog. BUT, it's time for the Nutcracker. Delaney is in the Nutcracker again and performs in both the Saturday and Sunday shows. This year she has the role of a Pollichinelle. Julie took her to the Saturday night performance and said Delaney did real well. The rest of us will be going to the earlier Sunday performance. Below are a picture and video from Saturday Nights debut of the 2008 Nutcracker. Delaney is the third Pollichinelle to come out from the dress. She starts out center stage.
