This month has seemed to fly by.

It started with Brooks deciding to be potty trained. It was his idea so I had to go with it. He has done really well! In true Brooks' fashion he has added his own quirkiness.

He wears all his underwear backwards so he can see the picture.


We did have to have a serious talk about the proper places to go to the potty after catching him potty in a box, a laundry basket and the shower.

We have started our Christmas countdown with our homemade Frosty.


Cade is EVERYWHERE! He is pulling up and letting go! He is constantly crashing and disappearing!



We toasted marshmallows in our fireplace.


We built Gingerbread Houses.



Brooks insisted that we add a chimney and Santa...I tried.


Brooks created/ate his house.



We made sugar cookies. 320 to be exact!






Riley had a dance recital


We decorated the tree. Cade was tons of help!









Here is Riley's ornament for this year.


And Brooks'. Pretty perfect!




We had our first snow.





We are having Christmas at our house this year for the first time in 9 years!!! I am SO EXCITED!! More Christmas activities planned for this week....

So often Brooks reminds me of Jax! He always wore his undies backwards for the same reason!!!

Hollie! I love Brooks in his backward underwear. That is priceless, and of course your amazing Christmas crafts and activities look so fun.! 340 cookies. . . who are you? I wish we lived closer so we could get together from time to time. Our kids personalities seems so much alike. Thanks for supporting our sale by the way. We really appreciate it! Bring your stuff whenever you come to town next and give me a call! Merry Christmas!
