Sweet Baby Boy

We have sure enjoyed having a little baby with us during the holidays....even if he did teach me this morning that you must be very cautious around little boys when they don't have their diapers on!  Anna found it very humorous.

How do they sleep with their hands

in the air like this?!

"His Story"

Driving in the car the other day we were listening to Christmas music on the radio. The song "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" came on and the girls asked me to turn it up. We all sang along and then got to our destination and started shopping.

While walking around the store Kate asked me, "Mom, what's his story?" I couldn't figure out who she was talking about, so I asked her, "Whose story, Kate?" The conversation went back and forth for a little while with both of us becoming frustrated that I couldn't figure out who she was talking about. She kept referring to "his story in the song!"

Finally, it dawned on me that she was talking about the last line in the Rudolph song, "You'll..... go down.....in h-iii-st-ooo-ry!" 

Oh, that story. I'll never hear that song the same again.

Our girlies in their Christmas dresses for church today.

Tic Tac Toe

The other day Barrett was holding Luke and while studying his feet said, "His toes are the size of little tic-tacs." So while checking out at the store the other day I looked up and saw some and decided to do a comparison. Sure enough...they look like little tic-tac-toes!

Five Years and Two Weeks

Our kids are growing up in spite of our protests.

Happy 5th Birthday Anna!

Happy 2-week Birthday Mr. Luke!

Sushi Monsters

Our girls l-o-v-e Japanese food. So for Anna's pre-birthday celebration with Grandma, we went to get some sushi.

It started out as a peaceful night at Ichiban's.

Don't be fooled, that is the face of a sushi monster.

Wonder where she learned her ravenous ways...

From the sushi monster herself!
