A Christmas Tradition

Hello Everyone and Merry Christmas!

Its such an exciting time of year and no exceptions with us this year at the Wigwam. This is Kai's first Christmas and Jake's third - can you believe that! We were able to maintain our Christmas Spirit after a very nice trip back to Michigan to see Scott and Kelly (Eric's cousins) get married by keeping tradition with getting a tree and cutting it down. We will get another posting to actually share the photos from that trip, but if you want to see some that my dad put up, check out the Midwest Beller's blog on the right hand side of this page for a link to my dad's blog with some of the photos he has put up. This post has the latest on the boys in our day of decking the halls and being jolly from our December 7th getting-the-tree-day as well as some pictures from this weekend when we went Christmas shopping with the boys in Redmond. Gotta say that this year has been especially fun decking the house with Christmas treasures and finding the Spirit! Maybe the snow we got on Saturday had something to do with it but I think it is just the fact that these two boys are too cute for their own good. Its going to be a good year from Santa!
Keep warm and wishing you all very warm wishes this year...

The pictures say it all and the videos, well are priceless.

Peace and Happy Holidays!

GiGi and Poppi enjoying their eldest grandchild...
Man is he cute or what?

Goofball and wine in hand...maybe that had something to do with Maria being so goofy?

Dada and Kai - can you say cheese?

What a good looking family if I say so myself

This is what we call a very caffinated smile.

A break in the pouring rain - we didn't luck out this year in the weather department

Sorry tree huggers, this one's mine!
Maria is very happy to be heading out for "the tree"
