Christmas Tree….Oh Christmas Tree

We decided to up our game on Christmas Trees this year with not only having a REAL tree…but foraging thru the woods to find the PERFECT tree, and then chopping it down with our BARE hands…and by that I mean going to a tree farm and forcing John to cut it down with a saw while everyone else watches. 

Everyone but John agreed this was a solid plan…

So off we went in search of the perfect tree…on the coldest, windiest, most frigid day possible. We searched high and low, and voted down numerous less superior trees until just the right one was located.  Once we'd found it, we all stood around and cheered John on until it was cut down and loaded securely on the truck. Then we got the heck out of there in our warm truck and soaked up every bit of heat we could.  Our perfect tree is now patiently waiting to be decorated & the mini Brandt's are not so patiently waiting to get this whole Christmas show on the road.

Birthday Bash Numero Uno

Pretend It's January 5th, 2013 It's Birthday Season here at the Brandito Lair! Mr. Brandt heads back tomorrow and it's time for the annual triple treat birthday party for Mr. B, Uncle Danny and Annabelle.  Katy made 2 delicious cakes for the event. The boys got their own green cake and Annabelle got her own special Mario Cake.  We had some delicious food and the Birthday people got lots of special prizes!  The UnBirthday Party was definitely a success! 

Baby You're A Firework

One of these outfits was self chosen....the other was chosen by Mama...can you guess which is which?                   Happy 4th of July everyone!!  It was a rainy 4th for us Floridians. But with the rain comes cooler temperatures, and I'll take a little wet over sweat any day.   We started the 4th off by sleeping in (which of course still means we were up by 9...) and then cooked out with the Brandt/Simmons clan for lunch. We'd planned to go to the Riverwalk area too take part in the crafts and whatnot but once the girls heard Ava was already at Nana's house...they could not be persuaded to do anything that did not include being with her.   Cousins                  It was overcast and cloudy all day, but we did manage to escape most of the rain. Until the fireworks that is. I'm talking lite...

Wackiness

  It's wacky hat day at PRE today. Only Annabelle felt inclined to participate as it costs 2 feathers. Heaven said it was a "total waste of feathers" and Gavin said nothing as his only hat is a Seminole hat and he's gone rogue lately claiming suppot for Gators. My dear Annabelle made up for both of their lack of sense & style.  She is both Fancy in my large sunhat and Fabulous in her FSU Friday decor.   Doesn't get much better. Happy Friday!
