As is our family tradition we went to the tree farm and cut our Christmas tree.  This year my brother and his family joined us.  We hiked out to the trees and the Scott’s made quick work of choosing and cutting.  The Morey’s, on the other hand, couldn’t seem to pick and each of the 3 kids had a turn with the saw.  As the sun set on the brisk evening we gathered back at the car for hot chocolate and cookies…desert before dinner!  (We did have dinner together too!)

Alexander’s Birthday fell on Memorial Day this year.  So we had a small family gathering that included uncle Bert and cousin Thomas and “Buddy” Rey.  Thomas’ bday is right around the corner, so it was a double celebration of sorts.  Gifts included the bean bag chair that was tossed around, Legos, and a gift card to Game Stop.  Thomas got a book and bucks to spend on more books.

So my nefew is taking ice skating lessons.  Hockey fans ya know!   So, we decided to join him for a public skate session.  I chose not to skate and just snap a few pics.   A fun time was had by all.
