Christmas is coming...


The kids have been anxious to set up the Christmas lights as our street is starting to brighten up at night, so this Saturday we got out there and did it! It was chilly, but Justin and Craig did a great job...especially considering the clips that kept breaking....grrrrr.



Addie was cold after we came in...and asked for some apple cider and to sit infront of the fireplace. What a way to bring in the Christmas season. So she sipped apple cider and ate a yummy homemade granola bar (which if anyone is looking for a good, low sugar recipe I really like this one) I thought it was pretty cute.

What a beautiful Princess!!
My boys. So handsome!!
A couple weeks ago on our way to church I was teasing Addie that devin was a girl and she was a boy...and she thought about it and replied. You and me are GIRLS. Because we both have pretty eyelashes! What funny logic!! But yes, she is my pretty little girl.
So in November Addison learned how to write her name all by herself. She is doing really well now with all her letters and is drawing better too. It is exciting.


Wow...this post was all about Addie!! Sorry Devin. We love you too!!

The seasons are always so much more fun with children. That's why it's so important for grandparents to be able to be around grandkids too. I can't believe that my youngest grandchild is already six!!! Isn't it scary to have Justin and Craig up on the rood?!

Addie's hair is so long! I wonder if Claire's hair will ever grow. Ha ha. Devin looks like such a little man in his sunday clothes! So handsome. We're really looking forward to spending some time with you guys at Christmas. Oliver's pumped he's going to have some cousin's to play with.

P.S Claire LOVES the picture Addison made for her. She carries it around with her. Thanks Addie!
