Take a stroll through the town......
I bought some really fun new ornaments at Taipan Trading over the break with Dusty's mom. I couldn't wait to put up my tree when I got home. I fell in love with the brown ornaments, but wasn't sure how they would look on the tree. Much to my delight they look really good with the gold ornaments I already have. Here is the tree. Thanks, Allie, for the glittering leaves you got us for Christmas. They really put the finishing touches on the tree. Also, if any of you know how small our living room is, you should be impressed that somehow we put this giant tree in and manage to still have room for everything else!
Tyson and his cousin Lily had a good time meeting each other. Tyson is just starting to notice and be interested in other babies and children, so he thought Lily was great. When Grandma Hoopes was holding them on her lap, Lily got a little shy and started to cry. Of course, Tyson decided to join in a few seconds later!
We stayed at Dusty's Grandpa Bowers house over Thanksgiving. He was heading up to Boise for the holidays and wasn't there very long, so we had to make sure we got a snapshot of Tys with his Greatgrandfather. Here is Grandpa holding Tyson before bath time!
Here is Tyson with Grandma Hoopes. These are nice photos of her and him together. He sure does have big cheeks that are just so much fun to kiss.

I just wanted to say that your tree is gorgeous-- I'm jealous because we might not put up our tree this year. (Oh well, that's what happens when your house is under construction) Also, Cael loves to see pictures of his cousins-- Tell Tyson he says 'hi'.
I had like 8 things to comment on so we'll see what I remember. The tree is AMAZING! You've got a good eye for picking that stuff out. I'm happy to have contributed the dancing princesses sparkling leaves. :) Merry Christmas guys!
I'm impressed with your painting skills! Not really, I knew you had it in you. I especially like the view from the window of one of the little shops.
All I can say about Lily's temperament is that she's super.
And I'm scared to take the vocabulary quiz. There's a reason I post the science and math and logic ones on my own. :) We'll see....
