Christmas Decorating

Last Monday for family home evening, we put up and decorated our Christmas tree. It was a lot of fun. I love watching the kids get excited and run around the tree. Of course, with small children our tree is now missing decorations on the bottom foot and a half of the tree, but that's okay.



Here we go 'round the Christmas tree....



The kiddos were having fun circling the tree while I was fixing the branches.



The chase is on!



Monster was either being chased by his sissy or Daddy scared him. He is hilarious when he gets surprised because he screams and then tries to run away.



I thought this was a pretty good shot of my belly,



I think Teeny is head-butting my bum in this one--she's crazy like that!



Monster hiding in the tree box



Monster Santa



Teeny Santa--The kids LOVE to wear the Santa hats around the house!



Monster's first time helping decorate our tree--although I think he'd much rather un-decorate it...




Monster in his monster jammies--We found these at the Carter's outlet and thought they were perfect for our little Monster-man.



He has just started to like to read books, so when I saw this I had to take a picture. I love having children who enjoy books as much as I do!



Kiddos all bundled up at the Parade of Lights--It was a bit chilly out, and we almost didn't go. I took the kids last year by myself because Daddy was working, and we want it to be a little tradition of ours to go...so, we decided to go. I think the kids enjoyed it, especially getting to see Santa at the end!



Teeny & Daddy




While we were in Longview for Thanksgiving, we took the kids to this really big park. They had a blast running around and exploring everywhere. Teeny loves to swing, especially when Daddy pushes her. Monster decided to give the tire swing a try, but he didn't last too long before he looked like he was gonna get sick!



Teeny thought this swing was really neat--looks comfy to me (for a swing, anyway).



Teeny running through the tunnel (probably away from her cousin ;)



Monster climbing the stairs--I think the sign said it was a stegosaurus, but it was just some steps going up and down.



Teeny playing on the front of the train



Daddy surprising Monster--That is actually a little window at the top of a tunnel slide. Daddy climbed up the outside, so he could scare Monster. I thought it was pretty funny.

Tree looks good. We just do candy canes on the top half of the tree if they get destroyed, oh well.

Friends' Birthday

Image
In June, we were invited to a birthday party for twin girls who are Tink's friends from church. They have a big family and most of them live around here, so they had a big party and BBQ at the park. The kids (big and small ;) had a great time! They played a fabulous version of Duck, Duck, Goose! The person who was it carried around a pail of water. When they said Duck, they would sprinkle a little water on the person, but when they said Goose, they would dump the entire bucket of water on the person. It was hilarious to watch! The girl getting the water dumped on her head has the same name as one of my daughters. I just love the expression on her face. Priceless! Tink was laughing so hard when she got to dump the water on a big kid's head. I wish you could see her face. It was awesome. Tink eating a hot dog Skinja playing on the giant slip n slide

Pictures of the Belly....FINALLY!!!

Image
Okay, so now that we are 38 1/2 weeks along (as of the date of the pictures), we finally got some pictures of the baby bump....well, it's more of a baby mountain, I think, but at any rate, here they are. Enjoy! See what I mean--it's huge! ;) It's like a little seat for Mya. Here are some new pictures of the cute little booger. She just keeps growing and learning new words. She speaks in sentences and climbs on everything. She loves to brush her teeth and wash her hands. And, inevitably, she has learned the word NO. Sometimes it drives me nuts because she says it no matter what you ask her and no matter if she really does want something or not. I know that all kids are like that, but I kept hoping she wouldn't learn it. Oh well! C'est la vie! :) She learned this from her daddy! :) A cute picture of daddy and daughter at a Primary activity. We bought her a tricycle, and she absolutely loves it! It is a little big, but she can grow into it. Plus, it is adjustable for ...
