Thanksgiving

Believe it or not, these are the only two pictures I took of our family on Thanksgiving. Since the boys were sick we cancelled our plans to celebrate with friends and stayed home. We used fancy serving bowls and things given to us by Pete's mom to make it extra special for the boys. We put up the Christmas tree, but didn't decorate it until the next day. It was different to just have the five of us, but we watched the parade, watched football and played games. A good day I think!

Christmas is for giving

This year for Christmas, my parents gave the boys some money to fill shoeboxes for other kids through Operation Christmas Child. The boys got so excited to pick out gifts for other little boys - they could have filled a dump truck! As it was they picked out too many things and they were very upset when it didn't all fit! A good lesson for learning to give.

Personality

This little guy is bursting with personality. Always looking to make us laugh by doing or saying something silly! His dimples make the cuteness factor explode to irresistible.

Cinderella

This is what it looks like when a small muffin idolizes Cenderella. I found him like this, thus I did not assist him with the apron or finding the scrub brush. Maybe I should have let him watch that movie a long time ago?
