Day 317

Today was a pretty uneventful day here. We just played and did some work around the house. I was able to make a couple of things to put in the freezer for later. We also worked on our Christmas letters to Santa. I ran a few errands as well. Mom and Dad leave for Huntsville tomorrow. I've been really taking advantage of them being here to catch up on my sleep and do some other things that I needed to do. Thanks Mom and Dad!

Adalee crawled up on the couch and started reading books this morning

The children's Christmas Lists for Santa
Adam wrote his all by himself. I helped spell the words "thank", "boy", and "good".

Can't I get a smile from all 3 at the same time!

Being silly

My little cuties!

All smiles for the camera

Love my little fish face!

A handsome Adam

I love this profile shot

Am I cute or what?

Day 316

Today we avoided all the holiday shoppers. Instead we spent the day taking down all of the fall decorations and putting up all the Christmas ones. The kids were so excited. When we took the tree out of the box, Adalee got all excited. She kept going over and touching it and squealing.


Is that my Christmas Tree?

NO, it's just us!
