So I've not updated my blog in quite a while (sorry, Sis. Dever!) I thought I'd get back at it and show everyone exactly where I've been the past month. First off, here are some pics from our fun trip to visit my Mom and Dad! After Thanksgiving we just hadn't had enough time, so rather than go home and come back that weekend for the Project Linus Appreciation Breakfast, we decided to just join then on their ride home and stay the entire week! James had to go back to work :-( but he seemed to get much more done without us to distract him! :-) 
Logan loved this drink at the new Chinese buffet in town- it's a real Chinese soft drink and the bottle was designed to hold the straw so it wouldn't fall in too far! Very ingenious, I thought! We ate there twice because it was so fabulous.
Tyler liked it as well, and you can see he was trying to lose the straw...but it never went in any further!
Here we all are at the Appreciation Breakfast- Christmas attire and all! It was the most wonderful morning- food was delicious, the kiddos were well behaved, and though you can't tell from their faces in this picture, the boys really had fun! They had a fun surprise bag they got to keep choosing from throughout the morning, and Logan even won the tree table decoration. He proudly displayed it on our kitchen table throughout the rest of the season!
Here's Katie in her new outfit from Aunt Rach. Isn't she getting big?! :-) 6 months and just getting cuter and cuter!
One of our favorite traditions is decorating the tree with ornaments we've gotten each year. I have an ornament from every year of my life- everything from Hugga Bunch to Rainbow Brite, Gone with the Wind, "Our First Christmas," etc. etc. It's a fun trip down memory lane, so we've done the same for the kids. They each get a new one each year- this year Logan got Batman, Tyler got Wall-E, and Katie got an adorable "Baby's First Christmas" one. In this picture, I asked the boys to each grab their favorite ornament and hang it. Logan chose his Superman one from last year that has a phone booth that opens on each side- one side with Clark Kent, one side with Superman. Tyler's fave is the Linus one from the Peanuts Christmas Show where he recites "What Christmas is all about" (Luke 2 in the Bible). Tyler LOVED it and pushed that little button over and over. I'm glad he appreciates hearing about the true meaning of Christmas. :-)
