Here are just a few pictures from the past few weeks at our house… these pictures are pretty random and might not all be in chronological order. Sorry about that!!!

Patrick helping Daddy with the new Christmas tree that we cut down

Watching as they trim the tree at the bottom

The boys enjoyed watching the tree get put through the shaker

All decked out… yes, the tree was too big this year yet again, and we could not squeeze the angel on top!!!

First snowfall of the year and the boys are timid in the snow

One of Sammy’s shoes after being out in the snow… he had snow platforms!!!

What Ethan did while his brothers played away: Sat at the door and expressed great displeasure that Mommy wasn’t letting him go out, too.

The Gingerbread house that Mommy and Patrick made together

Patrick is quite the character!!!

Our house in the snow

A nighttime walk in the snow with three boys and a brand new sled

The sled was a little squishy, so we ended up having the boys take turns :o)

Sammy held on to Ethan very well while they were in the sled together. Ethan loved it!

Our house, minus the snow

Kitchen decorations

Patrick carefully decorating cookies at Oma’s house

Sammy not so carefully decorating one (and only one) cookie at Oma’s house

And decorating his one cookie some more, accidentally spilling a bottle of red sugar crystals

Sammy and his cookie

The finished cookie- pretty gross, huh???

Oh, and in case anyone is wondering: While I normally like to get my Christmas cards out by the beginning of December, I won’t have them out until probably January this year. We decided to wait and do family pictures once the girls were home from Iowa, so we have our picture sitting set for Dec. 27th. Once we get the pictures done we’ll finally have those cards out on their way :o)
