Christmas Lights

We finally got all the lights put up and it was a warm day. Paul and Peter had fun playing outside and looking at the lights and the new snowman we just got. Then after dinner, we took the kids out to look at the lights on the house. The kids loved to look at the lights. Paul can't wait to go out in the car and look at lights on all the different houses.

Christmas In Our Home

Our Thanksgiving

We had a great Thanksgiving. First we were invited to spend the day with friends from church, but their son ended up getting sick and we did not want the boys to get sick. We made a wonderful breakfast of french toast, bacon, and eggs. Then we all pulled boxes of Christmas stuff from the attic. The boys loved to help get all the Christmas stuff out and listen to Christmas music. We did end up being able to get the house decorated with all the help.

It was so cold outside that we did try to hang some of our Christmas light, but we ended up getting too cold. So we decided to wait until after the boys naps. Joshua, Paul, and I went out in 30 degree weather to hang up light. We did get most of them hung.

We made a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner and ate together. Paul and Peter had a lot of fun as well.

We had a very blessed Thanksgiving spending time with our family. Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Happy Thanksgiving

We wanted to wish you all a very blessed Thanksgiving. May you be blessed this day as you spend time with family and friends. May God bless you today and always.

Preschool

This year I decided to preschool Paul. Peter sometimes joins us, but he is not into sitting still for that long. Neither is Paul for that matter, but he has a longer attention span. Paul is learning to write his name, learn his alphabet, and count. We also have fun doing crafts and cooking together. I sure am enjoying this extra time with Paul. I look forward to schooling Paul and Peter next year.

Grandpa Bob's Birthday

Grandpa Bob's birthday was on the 18th of this month. We were hoping that we were all up to it with just getting over the stomach flu. My parents and sister did not get as the rest of us did. We made a special dinner and my parents were able to come home early from the shop. Joshua was able to come home for dinner and then stay home the rest of the night. We were able to celebrate as a family which is always nice. My boys are into tractors, so I was able to buy some movies about John Deere tractors. I gave them to my dad so that he could watch them with the boys. My sister found alot of toy tractors and gave those to my dad. The boys love to play with those as well. Sorry there are no pictures. We had a great time with family and are truly blessed.
