I'm still here!

I swear, I really am still here!  Things have been busy, but I'll try to give a quick-ish update on what we've been up to for the last month or so:

#1 Captain Underpants:  Brett has decided that he doesn't like to wear pants.  I don't know what brought this on, and I don't know how to fix it, but some days you just have to roll with it.

#2 Christmas Tree Farm: We took our annual trip to a local Christmas tree farm with our friends Michael, Beth, Acadia, and baby Tanner. 

#3 Decorating for Christmas:  Brett really enjoyed helping to decorate this year.  He even put up a small tree in his bedroom.

#4 Christmas Card Photo Shoot:  This seems to get more chaotic and rediculous each year.  Here are a few of the more entertaining shots:

#5 Breakfast with the Big Guy: We went to breakfast with Santa at the Weyers Cave community center.  I wasn't sure how it would go, but Brett hopped right up on Santa's lap and told him that he wanted a Jessie doll for Christmas.  Shelby, however, wasn't having it.  She did enjoy the breakfast part, though!
