Car, Santa, and Trees

So my last post was filled with tons of layouts, today it is filled with only 1 layout but tons of photos.  This layout is a Halloween one.  I'm just trying to finish up 2010 layouts so I can have a photo book ready to print at the year end.

Tate's car finally broke down.  He had a leak in his fuel injector pump so he really couldn't drive it anywhere.  So here is his new car, a Honda CRV.  He enjoys driving it especially since it has a working a/c system.  He got a really good deal on it since they were clearing out all the 2010 models.

This past weekend, we went to the mall to visit Santa.  Bostyn wasn't thrilled to be sitting on his lap but at least she didn't cry.

Time for a family photo at Kahala Mall and the sweetest photo of Bostyn kissing her daddy.  You bet you'll be seeing this photo on future layouts.

After visiting Santa, we went to Helemano Farms to pick our own Christmas tree.  Last year we got a Norfolk Pine that was more eco friendly since they cut off only the top and the tree continues to live.  However, that was just too big for our tiny house.  This year, we got their Leyland Cypress.  It is a lot smaller and looks and smells more like your traditional Christmas tree.  The tree will die after the season, but at least it was locally grown and FRESH.  Here are some photos of us at the farm.  As you can see, it was very bright and sunny.  I just wish they had a snow blower to add some wintery atmosphere.

Finally, one of Bostyn's favorite books to read are toy catalogs.  She can just sit and flip through the pages.  She enjoys pointing out different things to me.

That's it for tonight.  I'll be back next week with pics of a decorated tree.
