Dinnertime

Johanna loved to help feed CW when he started eating solids.

I love how Jo has her mouth open when feeding CW.

Christmas Tree shopping

Since we moved into our house we have bought our tree from St. Greg's Boy Scouts at church. This year, Johanna helped Tom pick out the tree. Walking in the lot checking out trees with the boy scouts

After they trimmed the they asked Johanna if she wanted to smell the tree. Connor slept in the car while Tom and Jo shopped

Munchin Mangos - Yum

Connor loves mangos - it was one of the first things we ever put in his food feeder.

Oops, wrong end

Arrrr - I love mangos!

A little popeye look

Trimming the Tree

Connor jumped while we decorated the tree.

Getting out the ornaments

Tom helping Johanna put an ornament on the tree.

Johanna was a little hesitant to put the ornaments on the tree by herself, but tried a few.

Yeah the lights are on! Johanna loved Christmas lights. We would watch them before bed (out our front window) for as long as she could. It was very sweet. She also taught herself to say "lights on". My little cuties

Connor loved the tree - he crawled over there to see what trouble he could get into all the time.

Breakfast with Santa

We went to breakfast with Santa at the Milw Co Zoo with our friends, the Gigots. It was lots of fun! Our family photo - thanks Val for taking our pix.

Connor munching on a bagel

Elizabeth liked the puppy - love her smile! So sweet.

Connor liked the puppy too - the elf was great with the kids.

Connor checking out the trees and decorations.

Hey, who are you?

I said I liked you, but meeting you made me think differently. lol

Kneeling Tall

Today Connor and Jo were playing in his crib while I was trying to clean some things up in Connor's room. Connor was sitting and just grabbed the side of the crib and pulled himself up to a kneel. So strong!

Hi everyone - check me out. So proud of himself

Candy Cane Lane

Erin, the kids, and I all headed for a stroll down Candy Cane Lane. It was about 45 degrees out, so we thought we should take the kids out before it gets too cold.

John posing with a moose. John and Lily

Johanna, John, and I - Johanna didn't want to put her head in the hole.

Erin and Lily - so cute! The Grinch was there! Lily did not like him at all. She was so scared she was shaking. But Jo and John both shook his hand.
