Santa & Cookies!

Ben & Jon with Santa at our Moms Club Holiday Party





Ben & I had a blast last night making sugar cookies. He loved the frosting. Remind me next time I decide to make cookies, NOT TO FEED THE KID SUGAR AFTER 7PM!!!!! He was wired until 10:45pm! Lesson learned.

Great blog

Lysa TerKeurst has a blog and today it had a really good message about Christmas.

Busy...

We have been busy here... Sorry I haven't had a chance to update you all.

Brad & Jessica watched Ben & Jon while Will and I went to Will's Holiday Party for his work. It was great to have a date night with my husband. We need to do that more often!

I started to go to MOPS here at a local church.
I have had a lot of fun & actually had a night out ALL BY MYSELF!!!!! It's wonderful to be around other women without the kids.

Ben is practicing his singing for the Holiday Party on the 20th. So far I have heard 3 songs, Make New Friends, Continents and This is My School. I think there is 1 more that I haven't quite seemed to decipher.


Jon is being his happy self. He is sleeping through the night and is a very happy baby. He's amazed by his hands and loves to suck on his thumb.

It snowed & turned into ICE

The boys didn't play outside yesterday, it was the calm before the storm. This morning we had snow & ice. More ice than snow. Here are some pictures from this morning.


Here's Ben with his ice ball

Rough Day, Brighter Days Ahead

We had a rough day today. Ben had about a 10 minute nap and then the day was downhill from that point. Why is it that when 1 child starts to cry the other one cries too?? I know that tomorrow will be a better day.

It looks like we are in for a nasty winter storm. I am hopping that Will & Ben get to play outside in the snow tomorrow. Maybe Will can give me a break & I can play too with Ben outside in the snow! Last weekend Ben made snow angels with Grampa and really enjoyed it.

Pictures from Thanksgiving weekend

Here we are at our Thanksgiving celebration. We are thankful for many things, especially the birth of Jonathan this year.
