And a proud little man taking a turn walking the little prince around.
Yes, that is all drool; teeth are on their way!

If this works it is a video of the girls at the roller rink (bobby was off somewhere) at a birthday party this afternoon.
Apparently, Jillian can now skate!!
(this was not the case when we last went skating!)
Ok time, you can slow down now.
It was a very fun party and a great day!

Advent calendar day 8

Christmas Jammies!!!

We've had snowmen popping pens, game night at the grandparents, coupons for video game time, Christmas stories read under the tree and tickets to the nutcracker!!!

We aren't giving presents to the kids on Christmas this year, instead we're celebrating slowly all month long!!

It has been great, so far, to get to appreciate each item and event.

And before you call cps, don't worry; Santa will come Christmas morning with a few small surprises of his own ;)

Hope you're enjoying the season as well!!!

Nutcracker

All shined up and ready to go!

Memories

We have a game we play at dinner which involves taking turns discussing various topics in turn.
The question was "which ancestor would you most like to meet?"
There were some very sweet answers all around but Jillian's hit on a special angle. She said she would most like to meet aunt Bette and uncle ted's son.

'tis the season.

Advent calendar

Day one: a clue hunt around the house to find hidden prizes!!
Clue two was in the LAST shoe they searched in!!
Seven clues later and day one was won :)

Day two was the hunt and trimming of THE tree!
Thanks to grandpa, it was lit to perfection!!

More Christmas fun to come!

Oh Christmas tree.

Aunt Bette was right; this is the best stand ever.

We're pushing 14 feet.

It's beginning to look a lot like christmas......
