It's Christmas time

Last Wednesday we went with our good friends the Myers to get our christmas tree. We did it the good old fashioned way...

at Costco!

Carson even had fun

Decorating the tree

My favorite memory was Grace's response the morning after we got our tree. The girls had gone to bed when we got home so they never saw the tree up that night. When Grace got up the next morning she walked into the living room and exclaimed "Our christmas tree is in our house!" I keep forgetting that she doesn't remember much from last year, so it is all new to her. She gets so excited and is very expressive about every thing. Every time we see lights she says "See those lights guys, they're nice ones."

Thanksgiving

We spent the day at Uncle Rob and Aunt Adri's house along with the rest of Tim's family and the rest of Adri's family.

It was really fun for the girls to have other kids to play with (these are Adri's nephews)

The brothers had some quality bonding time!

And Caitlin found a new hiding spot

The next day we spent the day at my parents. I thought this was a really sweet picture of my dad playing with Carson.

Our Sweet Boy

All smiles

Carson is officially on the move now, just backwards!

I love those sweet baby blues!

Caite turns 4

Caite got to celebrate her birthday twice, she had a family birthday and one with friends.

Trying on some of her new gifts

She had a polk-a-dot party and the guests had to "dot" themselves when they came in.

Some fun pictures...

in some fun attire.

(this is not on halloween, I just keep forgetting to post it)

I think Carson is done, what do you think?

Sleeping Beauty, dressing up and getting free candy is a lot of work!

The things they say

The following is Grace's prayer at dinner:
"Jesus, welcome for our food. Welcome this day. Amen"
We are still working on the difference between thank you and your welcome.

Later Caitlin was talking to me and telling me this long story. At the end she said:
"I always have a lot to say. I don't know why, I just do!"

Caitlinism

Today Caite went with me to run some errands. I told her we were going to go to the mall, and this was her response:
"I love the mall, it has so many great children's shoe stores. I just love it! Love it, love it, love it! (huge sigh) That is so beautiful!"
