A Little Christmas Spirit!

Yesterday really was fairly calm. We even got the bathrooms cleaned and the kitchen straightened- only to mess it up again making cookies with Auntie Jess! We made gingerbread people and Million Dollar Bars (thank you Cousin Debby). Yum... It really made it feel like Christmas time. Later we were joined by Brian getting off work and Todd who came to play with Ethan. It was really fun just to relax and have fun with our friends. I can't wait for their little man to join the clan. Less than 2 months to go!

The first picture is of a Christmas present from my parents - their very own shire! They painted and planted and have had lots of fun watching the growth. Ethan keeps checking to make sure it gets "sunbite"- very important!

This picture is of Lucas' new toy (Thank you Baboo!). Say hi to our little alien! I thought the jumperoo would be smaller than an exersaucer. I was wrong. But it is very cool! He can only play in it for about 10 minutes at a time right now, but it will be very useful soon! Even if it takes up a ton of room.

Boys the boys are totally congested. Gross.... It wouldn't be winter without a nasty cold, right?
