Making Cookies!!!

Today was the annual day of making cookies at Rick and Paula's house. This year they did all of the baking the night before and we did all of the decorating. The boys loved putting on lots of frosting and sprinkles. Josiah loved eating plan sugar cookies, we gave him broken ones. Stephen made an amazing snowman and I made a gingerbread family of all of us. So yummy!!! Love the holidays.

Santa Letters

Over break we wrote our Santa letters. I got the idea from my co-worker, Rebecca. The boys were excited to write letters to Santa telling him what they wanted. They did pretty good. I worked with Stevie in sounding out the letters, I didn't correct him, I wanted him to tell me and write out the letters  he hears, he did pretty good. For Ethan, I did dots and he traced over my writing, but he told me what to write. Noah scribbled all over, but then told me what he wanted. They turned out really cute. Josiah will have to write one when he gets older, he just sat by and watched while he munched on crackers.
I wrote one and the boys enjoyed listening to mine, but Stephen wrote his a few days later and I really enjoyed his. He is so good! Love my boys!!

Thanksgiving-part 2

Today we went to North Bend for Thanksgiving part 2. We made 2 turkeys, peeled 10 pounds of potatoes, and lots more. The boys played Zingo, played outside with the snow, and ran around the house. It was another great day spent with family. We also set up Grandpa Steve's Christmas tree. Wonderful night, but ready for the boys to get back on schedule, this mama needs a nap!

Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving we went to Lincoln then to Crete. The boys enjoyed seeing the family and eating all kinds of goodies. We ended up staying in Lincoln because the weather got bad which the boys didn't mind because they wanted to sleep at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Lots to be thankful for, we are so blessed!!!
