We've loved cooking all sorts of goodies this year. Mommy has had great helpers! We got together with 2 families from church this week (8 kiddos!) and made gingerbread houses. What a hoot! Yes, more candy was eaten than made it onto the housese.
It's hard to imagine that just 4 years ago, there were 3 other couples without children from our neighborhood with whom we started building friendships. My how we've grown! Merry Christmas to some wonderful friends!
Jay & Caleb were SO excited that it snowed and SO disappointed that there was not enough to build a snowman! They did manage to throw a few snowballs!
Our neighborhood had a treat on Saturday. Everyone gathered for a fun time with each other and with Santa!! Caleb wanted no part of sitting with him, and Jay told him about a certain flat-bed tow truck that he has been wanting.
Jay was so excited to put the star on the top of the tree this year and to hang his ornaments. (Yep, we did most of it after Caleb was in bed!) The boys posed together before we went to see Santa and with Daddy before church.
Jay's drawings are becoming recognizable...here is a bulldozier with a "digger" on the back! And, Caleb...we've gone old school on him for hitting, pushing or otherwise bullying his older brother...to the corner with you!
On Friday, Daddy came home a little early and had a concert with the boys while watching football! We also got to work on Caleb's new furniture. He was sooo excited about his new bed and did great sleeping in it. On Tuesday morning, I hadn't heard anything for awhile and went to check on the boys. They had turned the light off in Caleb's room and gotten in the bed together, pretending to go to sleep!!
It was so cold here on Thanksgiving Day! We had a great day at home together, topped off by roasting marshmellows!
