Christmas time is here




Showing off our masterpieces.
Caleb's masterpiece: Me!

Tired of waiting for snow, we finally made our own.
So squishy!

And stay there until you learn to behave!

My turn!

Kids these days, coming up with the strangest fashions.

It's cool mom.  You wouldn't understand.

Marble time

Never too young to start learning Minecraft.

He loves these pajamas and he's Bear-y cute in them.

Carter getting ready to vacuum.
Caleb will have a challenge come naptime.

Caleb helping suck up all the dead boxelder bugs in the windows.
Caleb has been having fun with costumes lately.

We're not always sure what look he's going for.

Concentrating hard on his picture.

Christmas tree time!

Caleb:  "I love it!"

Ornaments!

Trying out the stockings and the Santa hat.

Everyone say "trees!"

It's snowing!  Time for my Gene jacket!
(Caleb's cousin, Gene, gave him this coat)

Hooray for snow!

I'll shovel for you mom!
Two snowmen so they don't get lonely.

This is moments before Caleb murders the pink one.

Snow makes us tired.

Lamby keeping Caleb's head warm.

It's party time with friends!
We start with a Christmas craft.

Caleb could not be bothered with a craft, so he played with this truck.

Time to decorate cookies.

I'll come for that!

Jayden was disappointed that her boots were only black and white.
So she added a little accent color.

Mom made chicken soup.
Jayden gives it one thumb up.

Caleb....No comment.

Cooking marshmallows at the library.

Carter got to have some Grammy time!

Fun in the snow.

Made a new friend.

Or two.

Santa Claus is coming to town!

Time for the library Christmas activity.
Caleb always adds an O at the end of his name.

"I see Santa!  I see Santa!"

A few kids on the nice list.

Carter had his first piano recital!
He played "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"

He did so well!
And look how handsome.

After the recital we got to play with hand bells.

Sledding time!

After a few runs down the hill, Caleb decided he'd rather just sit.

Until he found the playground.

Caleb begged and begged to go to the Dinosaur museum.
Luckily some good friends came with us!

One of the Amazon boxes was designed like a truck.
Caleb thought this was awesome!
We should have bought something bigger.
