A few weekends ago we had our annual tree decorating party at the Rickert house. Since I started dating Mike over 6 years ago I have been attending this event....and with each year the event gets more exhausting thanks to the little terrors treasures we have running us ragged. Last year Tyler was not mobile so all we had to do was put him down and let him enjoy the view....this year we I could not say the same. He was running around in true Tyler fashion with his playmate Sophia. During this even we tried to incorporate a photo session in hopes that Aunt Leenie (or kind photographer) could capture a shot for the 2011 Christmas cards....the result was unsuccessful - chances of a 1.5 year old sitting still and smiling for a camera...slim to none. Overall the day was great and something that we look forward to every year - can't wait until next year when Lucas is in motion and Baby Rickert has joined the group!

This year was tough getting us to stand in one spot and look at the camera - which is why everyone except Colleen and Brian look crazed. Next year they will join the crazy group with the addition of Baby Rickert!
Cousin shot - could these three be any cuter. Thanks for the PJ's Aunt Leenie and Uncle Brian
