Hanging of the greens

Hanging of the Greens 

Every year after Thanks-giving we have Hanging of the Greens at the Hoehamer's.  We put all the the ornaments up on the tree open our advent gifts and get a new ornament for our tree.  This year we weren't able to celebrate with Claire & Brock, but we were able to Skype with them, and we will see them for theirs in December. 

Arya's 1st ornament!! Of course she needed to taste it! 

Arya got 2 Christmas books for her gifts! She was excited about them too! 

When Matt & Claire were little Tom and Lynne made a wooden block nativity for them to play with.  Lynne got it out for Arya to play with this year. She LOVED it!! 

 Arya even got to help grandpa put the angel on the tree. 

Daddy's 1st ornament, and Arya helping him put it on the tree. Of course Dad, was so stoked :) 

Cousin Photo shoot!

This year we wanted to take photos for grand-pa and grand-ma for Christmas.  So Arya & Nate got to have a mini photo shoot.  It was fun, they had a blast together.

We even got a god-parent photo in as well.

Hospital with Mom

 On Saturday morning @ 5:00 am, mom had some major pain in my right side.  We ended up having to go to the hospital.  Dad had to get me up @ 5:00am to get ready to go to the hospital.  Turned out mom had to have emergency appendectomy!! 

Baby Food: Green beans

We started BABY FOOD!! We started with green beans, her first reaction was not too impressed with them, but I think she started to warm up to them.  Hopefully, she will like them like her mommy! 

Shadow wanted some for herself.
