Ward Christmas Party

Had to sit on Santa's lap at the party. I thought Alex might freak, but he was fine.


Nathan liked singing with the primary kids, "Picture a Christmas"

Just a cute pic of Alex!

Christmas

We had a great Christmas, we stayed here at home and enjoyed Santa visiting our house. Nathan was surprised that he left a cookie on the plate, so Nathan enjoyed eating that Christmas morning. The kids got spoiled (holy cow Mom and Dad, I think we will restrict presents to one per kid next year!). We didn't get them much but between grandparents and Santa, soo much! They had fun and it was fun watching Nathan be so surprised and having fun.

Nathan turns 4

I can't believe Nathan turned 4! He is getting so old and so fast. He is such a great big brother and loves to play with Alex. He is very independent in lots of things that he does. I love that he can get a drink of water for himself and Alex. Buckle himself in the car, get his shoes on, get dressed...just to name a few. He likes going to preschool and sometimes I can't believe the things that he knows. It makes me laugh when we are talking about something or walking around in the store and he'll say "I saw that on my tv today." He knows how to turn the TV on and during quiet time he will watch "qubo" and sees the infomercials. Just makes me laugh. What a kid! Love him!

Christmas Card

A recent project...Growth Chart

With the help of my Mom, I made this cute growth chart. It is a board with 4 sheets of paper Mod podged on, and some vinyl lines/lettering on top. I think it turned out pretty good. Thanks for helping me get started Mom! :) (I really did it all by myself--I just needed some prodding to get started---PROMISE!)

Halloween...Spooky :)

Nathan wanted to be Buzz this year for Halloween, so since I already had cowboy stuff for Alex, he was Woody--not an exact one I know, but it works. I decided to coordinate John and I, so I was Bo Peep and Nathan wanted John to be Rex...however I did NOT want to try to make that, so I bought some army stuff for the Army guy :) We had fun and Nathan was fearless trick or treating. He got out of the car and rang doorbells all by himself while I waited in the car. I was impressed. I got Alex out a few times and he was SO happy to be holding his pumpkin bucket. He did not want to let go. :) He knows the good stuff already--is that bad? He got into his candy before we got home, it was good times!

Pumpkin Fun

Had to go pick out pumpkins, then we had to carve one....during the process I was wondering WHY??? But it turned out good and Nathan had fun :)
