We picked up our tree yesterday and barely made it off the lot without buying a bunch of pine cones. Isla just couldn’t resist the bin full of pine cones, and after she threw them for a third time, I did my best to discreetly escort her back to the car. Seriously though, free candy canes (which Isla also couldn’t resist) but pine cones 2 for $1- only in San Diego, I guess.
In other news, Asher went for his 9 month well baby check-up. 25 pounds, 30 inches. Holding strong in the 90+ percentiles! Time to start crawling, buddy (did I really just say that? Silly, silly mom)!
Keeping up with the Rosses 
Can a year fly by any faster? I was just thinking oh the Grinch at the Globe! And tree shopping in your new ride……precious memories.
Crazy, fast year! We went back to the same lot this year. Giant blow-up Snowman was still on the roof, reggae music was still blasting over the loud speakers, and hot apple cider was still waiting for us :).
What a lovely, lovely family! (Shawna just gave me your blog!)
What wonderful pictures. I will miss seeing you this Christmas.
Tim is already very excited about the upcoming cruise. We will miss seeing you, too.
