Decorating the tree...

This year the boys were at a great age for Christmas. After returning from West Virginia for Thanksgiving we always get out the tree and kick off the Christams season. Well, this year the boys did a little tree decorating and a lot of box playing. That was the highlight of decorating the tree was the big box it came in. They played and played in the box. They had so much fun. Nolan got into putting the ornaments on the tree. Poor guy (or poor tree)... He picked one spot to put all the ornaments. Everytime I would move one he would notice and tell me "not to move it he wanted it there!" He even put on his Santa hat.. he was so cute. Carson had fun redecorating the tree. What a mess having a toddler is with Christmas decorations?!?! The tree got put up and then put away with only a few broken ornaments. However by the end of the season my tree looked a hot mess with most of the lower half without ornaments. The joys of Christams with toddlers!

Family pictures...

Before the year got away from me I wanted to get our family pictures done. Aunt Jen found a local lady who did outside photos for a reasonable price. Lucy Parker Photography did our shoot. We had a fun time together just acting ourselves and the results were great. I can't wait to do a photo book of all our pictures to capture the memories of this time in our life.

The Pinti's 2009... Beware it is picture overload!!!!



















Can't wait to do it again next year to see how we have grown and changed...

Trick or Treat 2009!

The boys for halloween this year were a cowboy and horse. I figured this may be the last year I can pick Nolan's costume and it was so stinkin cute I had to get it. He was not a big fan of it at first but when I told him that cowboys ride horses he was very excited. He made such a cute cowboy and his horse was beyond adorable!!!

We started at our neighbor's house to trick or treat then the rain let down so we went to trick or treat with Bryce and Heath. The older boys loved it. Carson just wanted to eat every piece as soon as it was placed in his bag which was beyond exhausting and not to mention the sugar high in the end!

Pumpkin carving...

This year we let Nolan pick out the design he wanted on the pumpkin. He picked a dragon. We had a great time carving the pumpkin. Nolan was not into it like I thought he would be but Carson had a blast. He thought it was so cool to feel the pumpkin and even ate some of the insides... I told you he eats everything! We had fun and it turned out looking really cool!
