This year I thought it would be fun to make Christmas trees instead of ginger bread houses.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I figured they took a lot less prep and it would be something new for us to do.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
These are Ethan's trees.&lt;/div&gt;

I finally finished decorating my Christmas tree and thought I'd share pictures.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
Don't mind some of the unlit lights. &amp;nbsp;I spent a lot of time stringing lights on my pre-lit tree because many of the strands had stopped working &amp;amp; days after I got all the lights working and the decor on, some of the lights I strung on decided to go out. &amp;nbsp;I didn't want to mess with it anymore &amp;amp; just decided to take pictures.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
I guess that is the reality of dealing with Christmas tree lights :)&lt;/div&gt;

It's fun how each year the kids get older, they can do more to help.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Ethan got to help with the lights &amp;amp; Kalin was tall enough to help with the bead garland.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
They were both so pleased with themselves.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Family traditions are so fun!&lt;/div&gt;

Last night we went to a Halloween party and Matthew won for funniest costume.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
This is what he threw together for a costume the night of.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
When the kids asked what he was, he said he was a dork.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
No wonder he was the funniest!&lt;/div&gt;

This year we decided to carve one pumpkin as a family.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
We decided on the pattern together and then Matthew traced it onto the pumpkin.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_Pz0lboATCE/TqbRO0pnkCI/AAAAAAAAKAE/nD5pH0nHYDg/s1600/IMG_6436.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-_Pz0lboATCE/TqbRO0pnkCI/AAAAAAAAKAE/nD5pH0nHYDg/s320/IMG_6436.JPG" width="213" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
Matthew cut the top off.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
And the kids were more than excited to pull all the pulp (or guts as they call them) out.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u3fXVeffUeU/TqbRSTbJwVI/AAAAAAAAKAc/U_2u3HD-4K8/s1600/IMG_6441.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-u3fXVeffUeU/TqbRSTbJwVI/AAAAAAAAKAc/U_2u3HD-4K8/s320/IMG_6441.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
It's their favorite part &amp;amp; I'm more then happy to let them get all goobery.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-96fKWM3pE9Y/TqbRUd1Gj6I/AAAAAAAAKAs/V2uFRWtPy_M/s1600/IMG_6443.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-96fKWM3pE9Y/TqbRUd1Gj6I/AAAAAAAAKAs/V2uFRWtPy_M/s320/IMG_6443.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
They toasted some pumpkin seeds with cinnamon sugar &amp;amp; some with salt.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
They loved the cinnamon sugar. &amp;nbsp;Surprise, surprise.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I got to carve the pumpkin while the kids helped Matthew toast pumpkin seeds.&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
I always love carving the pumpkin and it was nice to have little helpers too!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

As I posted on FB, &amp;nbsp;I have a good excuse for not blogging--I'm pregnant!!&lt;br /&gt;
We're really excited because we weren't sure I'd be able to get pregnant again, but I guess I still work :) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The un-fun part is that I've been nauseous for 3 months and if you know how that goes, not much motivation goin on over here :) &amp;nbsp;The other part is that I have gestational diabetes, so I'm now working with my Dr to get my blood sugar under control. &amp;nbsp;It'll be so much fun poking myself with a needle 4 times a day, especially when I have an aversion to needles! &amp;nbsp;Wish me luck :)&lt;/div&gt;
