Decorating at Papa Harold's and Grandma Mari's

Another fun and adventurous weekend here with the Belt Family.

First up Friday night- pouring concrete! Well actually Travis helped mom and dad get 2 new pads for their automatic waterers set up but the kids and I were there for moral support (well into the dark and cold hours!) It was a little busy while we were there especially with Andi, TJ, Cooper, Buster and I watching while dad, mom and Travis were busy working. Needless to say I have no pictures of that but we do have proof as the kiddos got to put their hand prints and names in the concrete.

Saturday after making a couple of birthday cakes, cookies and getting my house cleaned for the big double birthday party on Sunday we headed to mom and dad's to help decorate the tree. It really is a tradition as we all try to make it home to hang out and help decorate. It seems like the house keeps getting a little fuller every year but I don't think you would hear a complaint from anyone!


Just a little bit of chaos! Mom and Dad still get a real tree and with that comes a "little" extra work. Of course the little boys thought that this was prime time for some horsey rides! :)

Kyle and Andi
What a pair! They seem to become a little "thicker" every time we meet up!

Andi doing her part to help decorate.

TJ hanging an ornament as well.

Of course you have to hang ornaments up high too...so Aunt Gina had to help him out.

Kale admiring his ornament before he found a spot for it.

Gina and Kyle adding the finishing touches.

Cooper found another use for the tinsel.

Now its time for business! Ride em' Coop!

Can you tell they both enjoy this?!

2 little ornery boys...the more these two are around each other and the older they get...I get a little nervous! lol :)

Of course Cooper had to give Baby Lane some loving attention.

Whether he wanted it or not. I say this time and time again- I hope he loves our "Baby #4" as much as Baby Lane!

Can you feel the love? It was everywhere! :)

What a chair full!

Decorating was all done by now and now it was movie time.

You are so on top of things with posting this already :) My favorite picture is the one of Kyle & Andi with a bowl of chex mix between them and you said they seem to become "thicker" haha- were you going for a double meaning?!?

I did not mean for my caption to have a double meaning but now that you mention it...I had several pics of them eating chex mix and popcorn! ;)
