So much to celebrate!

Here's a quick update on what we've been up to for the past few weeks.
Here is the kids' table at the Thanksgiving celebration at Uncle Andy and Aunt Debbie's (Amy's family). The kids have the cutest conversations with their cousins! Thank you, family, for a great day!

This is the beautiful centerpiece at the Weber family gathering.

Here are two super-cute cousins! We had another great Thanksgiving celebration!


The kids basically put up all the ornaments on the tree this year. All four of them took turns climbing the ladder to put ornaments up high (this is totally safe for 2-year-olds, right?). They did a great job!

We have enjoyed evenings sitting around the Christmas tree, singing songs. And this one evening we got to enjoy some hot chocolate!

Tommy has really become interested in praying. He wants to pray at every meal and at bedtime too. He doesn't need guidance anymore when he prays, he makes up his own prayers - they are absolutely precious! He ususally prays with his eyes open.

When he does close his eyes, he can't focus as well on what he is trying to pray for because it takes his full concentration to keep his eyes closed.

Allie made this great gingerbread house at preschool. Tommy and I got to come and help her. We had lots of fun and ate some treats too!

Allie had a precious Christmas program too. She knew all of her songs and hand motions really well. She was a great elf! And after the program, we got to go talk to Santa!

Your kids did a great job with the tree. Sure, a ladder is safe for a 2 year old. :>)

Tommy praying with his eyes closed is too much! I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas.
