a busy, busy weekend

Thanks to a crappy internet connection (shakes fist at Verizon) I finally got this posted!!!! This last weekend was jam packed with stuff. Friday night we went to Hayley's cheer practice where we got a sneak peek at their performance for the next day's parade in Yucaipa. Saturday was spent at the annual Christmas parade in Yucaipa watching Hay cheer and Sunday we took family pictures in downtown Redlands. It was freezing all weekend. The kids were good sports for pictures, although the boys can't seem to give genuine smiles without looking totally cheesy. I think the girls are little hams who love being in front of a camera. Christmas is only a week away! Enjoy the pics.

HAHAHA the first attempt at getting the tree in the stand

there was a lot of cursing going on at this point

This expensive tree stand didn't do the job so back to Home Depot we went. Our tree was propped up in the corner of the living room for a few days until we found another stand. Yeah, yeah, so ghetto.
