Gingerbread Houses

Auntie Ali came over and helped make a gingerbread house. The boys had lots of fun. Every time we looked away the boys reached into the bowls and ate some candy.

Ethan's 3 Month Studio Pics

"Daddy you read a book"

Micah frequently askes to read books, but he doesn't mean that he wants you to read the book to him he just wants you to sit and read any book while he is reading a book. Last night Micah asked "Daddy you read a book" so, Sean asked can i read this book (he had a theology book in hand) and Micah said yes. So, we had to take a picture of reading time.

Christmas Cookies

Lucas helped Becky decorate Christmas cookies this year. When asked should we use red or green he always picked green. Notice in the picture that he is not just sprinkling on the green sugar he is dumping it on. He had lots of fun!!!!

Micah's "Nap Time"

Nap time to Micah means play time. Often times he plays himself to sleep. He plays quietly first then falls asleep after he is done playing. This is what his room looked like when Becky went in to wake him up from his "Nap".

Big Shoes to fill!!!

Ali was over visiting on Mondaym Micah put on Ali's shoes. Then Lucas decided he needed to do the same, so he put on Sean's shoes. It was had to get a picture of both of them. Sorry their eyes are closed in the picture.

Let it Snow!!!!

On Sunday we got snow. And lots of it. It snowed Sunday, Monday, and today (Wednesday). School has been closed all week so far because of the snow. The big boys enjoyed playing in it. What fun!!! This is Ethan's first offical snow.

Christmas tree shopping

That's right our tradition continues. We went and bought a Christmas tree the day after Thanksgiving. We went up to the Christmas tree farms this year.. however when we arrived we realized that they only take cash or check. Not to mention it was more expensive. So, we did the same as usual we bought our tree at Fred Meyer. This is our 7th year buying a tree at Fred Meyer the day after Thanksgiving.

Thanksgiving Weekend With the Garwoods

Our friends Tom & Yetta Garwood and their two girls Fiona & Abby drove up from California to spend Thanksgiving with us. We had a great time. We didn't get any pictures of our thanksgiving meal because of juggling 5 kids and dinner. Abby & Fiona
