Christmas 2013

Archie was a little excited about picking a tree.

December was a busy (and fun) month for us.  We started out the month going to a local Christmas tree farm to cut our own tree down.  It was so fun and we'll be doing that every year!  We had a lot of family members come visit over Christmas break and apparently we had so much fun we forgot to take pictures!  At one point we had 8 extra people staying with us.  It was totally chaotic and just how I like it. :)

We found the perfect tree!

My friend came over to take our picture for the annual Huss Family Christmas card.  It was pretty funny because Mason and Archie were fighting and Archie was crying, but we told Archie if he smiled for the pictures, we would give him a cookie.  That's why some of these photos look a little strained.  Oh the joys of having boys so close together in age!

The winning photo that made it onto the Christmas card.

They really wanted a cookie.

Archie could only handle so much.

A couple of weeks before Christmas it snowed!  The boys got to miss school and play all day.  They woke us up at 6am asking if they could go out and play, but we made them wait until 7am.  Archie stayed out until lunchtime and Mason stayed out until dinner was served!


Archie was in a Christmas performance for school.  It was the most adorable thing I have ever seen!  They sang about ten songs and he did really well.  This picture was after the show.

Christmas morning.  I guess he liked his new sweatshirt.

The boys got a new Wii with Mario Cart for Christmas (thanks G-Ma).  They have pretty much been playing it ever since!
