Christmas Tree 2013

Today we were able to go and get our Christmas Tree.  We did something different than we had done in the past.  This year we went with a big group of people we go to church with to a whole sale tree farm to pick out or tree.  We started with eating breakfast at a place in Morganton.  It was really good!  We then headed up the mountain.  It did snow a little on the way up.  It did not take us to long to pick out our Christmas Tree.  Once we did the kids just enjoyed walking around on this tree farm while everyone else looked for their tree.  Ashlea Kuster and Taylor Kuster set up a little photo area for all of us to have our picture taken.  We were hopefully able to get a Christmas card out of this.  Here are some pictures from our trip.

Great Wolf Lodge!

Today we were able to go to Great Wolf lodge with my family.  We had a blast.  We had not been since Alisa and John were home last which was over 2 years ago.  Savannah was one and I don't think she remembered much from it.  She was super excited about going and playing in the water all day and night.  CJ loved the water and is not scared of anything.  He would just walk right into the kiddie pool and not worry about falling or anything.  He did go under a couple of times which caught him off guard but he would just get back up and go again.  This time Savannah was able to ride some of the water slides which she loved.  She was not the least be scared.  Charlie and I also loved riding the big water slides when we would get a chance.  There is nothing like the Howling Tornado to take your breath away!  We all stayed in one room which was interesting.  The kids of coursed loved it.  The first day went really well.  That night CJ threw up in his bed and started getting sick.  Charlie and I were up with him most of the night.  It is very hard trying to keep him quiet in order not to wake up the rest of the room.  The next morning Holly was able to come and join us.  We had another great day on Saturday besides us having to leave a little early because CJ was sick with the stomach bug.  After we all got home everybody ended up with the stomach virus besides Charlie and Poppa.  They were the two lucky ones.  Overall we had a great time and the kids loved it.  Even the big kids!  Hopefully we will be able to do it again!

 CJ was one tired boy!

 We love Aunt Holly!!
