Santa Baby

Little Walker

Henry's walking!

And also falling.

Cookies!

Christmas cookies!

And yes, Lucy and I were listening to Christmas music.

And using our Christmas cookie cutters

And wearing matching aprons.

And Henry was on the floor smashing a graham cracker with a metal measuring cup.

Parent Education Advent Service

Our advent service this year was, once again, a really special night.

Lucy was an angel, and we lit the Advent candle as a family.

And yes, Simon was tapped at the last minute to be a wise man.

Cookie decorating for everyone!

Christmas Tree shoppin

It's Christmas.

So . . . do we get a tree?

It seems like a simple question, but if you've spent time with our little "H Bomb," you know full well that Henry is on the move. 

And into everything.

And throwing everything. 

And then laughing.

And then laughing harder when you get mad about it.

So do you get a tree, or do you save yourself the grief and just catch it next year?

GRIEF!

HERE WE COME!

We decided to get a tree last week (I'm a little behind.)

A video from Santa

Lucy got a very special video from Santa this year:

CHECK IT OUT!

Advent

Advent season.

I've been wrapping Christmas books all year to have these 35 books ready to go by Advent.  

I'm not sure who's more excited about it. . .me, or the kids. 

Ok, me. Easily, me.

But Lucy gets to pick a book a day and unwrap it and we are having a ball over here.

Irvine Regional Park

We love the Irvine Regional Park.

It's a great place to meet Heather and the girls for a little romp.

This time, we rode the train, and walked around the zoo.

Rosie and Lucy and their babies

Petting and brushing the goats is always a hit.

What's superimpose?
