My brother and his girlfriend drove up from GA on Thursday and spent the weekend with all of us. We kept quite busy while they were here and mom put Matt to work with getting Christmas decorations up outside, of course with the help of Ian and Gavin! Friday afternoon we picked out a Christmas tree for mom. It was a little funny because we were all running errands in different vehicles going in different directions. I was with Matt and the kids and we got to the tree lot before mom and the rest of the crew. This tree lot is located near mom's place and happens to be family members of my age group swim team friend's husband!!! They are soooooo funny!!!!! So, the 4 of us start looking at the trees and we told the guy that the tree has to "sing" to mom or she won't buy it. So, he stands behind the tree and starts singing an Alan Jackson song! LOL We were like, "You have to do this when she gets here!!!" He did and it was hilarious! Anyway, she walked away with a wreath and a tree and Matt and Alissa also bought a wreath for their house.
Here's a picture of Alissa with one of the tree farm owners!
A few minutes of some football with Uncle Matt!
Friday night we went down the street to the Morrisville Tree Lighting and that was cute! They had arts and crafts for the kids, lots of cookies and hot chocolate and carols.

Oh yes...Santa arrives to the scene in a fire truck. Very cool! Gavin was a bit nervous at first, but then wanted to give him a high-five!
Saturday morning we picked up Matt bright and early because he went to Ian's basketball practice! What an uncle!!!! He even was awake enough to help us out on the court! Later that day we all ran some errands at Crossroads and then went back to mom's to decorate the tree, make a Christmas tree cookie cake and hang out. Gavin was more into making the cookie cake with Alissa...he and that sweet tooth of his!
The final product!!
Ian preferred being on the back patio decorating the tree.
