Hunting down the perfect Tree!!!

Every year here in Ohio we all go out and pick our own Christmas Tree. It is always super cold and super fun. This year Gene got to participate in the tree hunting. John and I always pride ourselves on picking the perfect tree so it took us awhile to find the one we wanted. Gene being the daddy's boy that he is had to help pull the tree sled around as we looked for our tree. Since it was cold we bundled Gene up pretty good. It was pretty funny watching him waddle around in his snow gear.(although there was no snow). At the end when we finally drag the tree all the way back we go inside and have some hot chocolate. This is the first time Gene has had Hot cocoa. I would say it was a hit. But of course he hated to wait until it cooled enough not to burn his mouth. All and all it was a very fun filled trip the the tree farm.

Gene's Birthday

Gene TURNS 2. I can't believe how fast the time flies. This year I decied to make him his own cake. Since he loves balls I thought it would be the perfect cake to make. He was very cute when he blew out his own candles.

Attacked by killer Birds!!

We went to the Zoo early in November (just have not gotten around to blogging about it) and there they have an enclosure you can go in, buy nectar, and feed the birds. I can't remember what kind of birds they were but I do remember the lady saying that they were hungry. Almost a soon as we walked in there we were attached. I wasn't expecting such an assault so I spilt some of my nectar on the sleeve of my shirt. Well that was a bad idea because the birds were trying to lick it up but got mad and started nibbling on my sleeve. And to top it all off I even got pooped on :(, and John got a little nibble on the ear. lol. I'm just glad that Gene didn't want to hold the cup, because he would have been traumatized.
