Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a great evening. We attended church and then came home to feed the reindeer and set our cookies for Santa.





Cookie party

It was fun to see all the kids together for a Christmas cookie party. As everyone goes from one to two, to three children we had to have an overflow into our garage. In a effort to have a little quiet time we read a story "The legend of the candy cane". It was a fun day and great to have all the kids together.










Carter's Christmas Pageant

Carter's school had a Christmas pageant where they performed the Christmas story (Birth of Jesus). They also had a birthday party for Jesus afterwards. It was great to see all the kids on stage and to see Carter as a shepherd.








Polar Express

We took the boys to Hood River, OR to ride the Polar Express train. It was a great evening since the boys know the book and it was really fun for them to share the experience together.










Thanksgiving


Brady's dad (Papa Fred) visited over Thanksgiving and we all had a great time. The boys hadn't seen Papa Fred since he moved to Mexico a year ago so there was a lot of catching up to do. Lots of wrestling, reading, playing, and telling stories. We also managed to put up the Christmas tree and decorate for Christmas while he was in town.
