Cookies and Milk

Last year we left goldfish and water for Santa. This year Levi said we needed to do better.

Rats.

Apparently someone told him Santa LOVES chocolate chip cookies. Well, we improvised by dipping oreos in white almond bark. We also left chocolate milk for the big guy. He didn't leave any complaints, so I think we did good!



Christmas Eve

We traveled to Moo and Pop's to eat and celebrate a day early. All bellies were full and the kids were proud of their new toys.

Shiloh loves to talk to Dora on her new Dora phone.

Although she wasn't convinced by her new Dora doll.


She did enjoy cleaning up everyone's tissue paper. She's a good helper. :)



Levi was super pumped about his Hot Wheels wall tracks...even though he has a strange look on his face...

Addyson loves her Aqua Doodle mat!

Thanksgiving

It's really hard to believe Thanksgiving is this week. The fall season has just flown by. I've been trying to exhibit a thankful heart lately--in big and little things--even though I should EVERY day--and it's been nice to enjoy helping Levi learn about thankfulness. He's really in a fun stage of life and I wish I could freeze him right where he is. :)

His Thanksgiving program at PCP was last week. All the kids got to choose their indian name for the event. Levi's indian name is Rainbow. He LOVES rainbows and coloring everything in rainbow colors. The kids sang several songs at their pow wow, my favorite being a little song with motions that talked about being thankful.

Every day is a happy day...


When we say "thank you, God!"



The kids loved doing the sign language and the message of the song was great. :) I think the kids FAVORITE song was the one about 5 fat turkeys. It's REALLY catchy and mommy has been singing it all week long!



I love my little Rainbow indian boy!

The Men in My Life

These are my two favorites. :) Aren't they sweet?

This little guy just warms my heart most every day.

I love him SO much. He told us the other night he had 100 girlfriends. I told him we needed to ease up on the girlfriends for a while.



Special thanks to Alana Donovan for these wonderful photos of my boys...
