Christmas Tree Shopping

I accidentally loaded all the pictures as "small." If you click on them, though, they're normal size.

Here are some pictures from our lives lately:

We started Thanksgiving with Eli helping mama make chocolate chip pancakes. He's STILL snacking on those.
Pancake-making face.
Eli, mama, and Amos made peanut butter birdseed wreaths for the birds. The squirrels have shown the most interest, though.
Eli surveys his handiwork.
Today we went shopping for our Christmas tree. Eli was WAY into it this year, in contrast to last year, when I don't think he really got it.
He spent some time looking at the branches, and carrying around little pieces.
Amos wore his Christmas-colored hat.
Eli soon realized that there was a bouncy castle, and the trees became a distant memory. He met a new friend in there, and they bounced away for a half hour or so.
Eli's velociraptor impersonation.
Still clutching his tree piece, even in the bouncy castle.

Jessa has the carry-two-kids thing down. Note the handy use of the belt loop.
We got our tree home and set up, but the lights and decorations aren't on yet. Stay tuned for a post on that soon!
Amos is so close to his first laugh. Sometimes you can get a half-chuckle out of him, but he stops there. But smiles are everywhere.
