Mid December

We have been trying to stay warm this past week. It has been so cold! Thankfully it is going to warm up again this week so the kids can play out in all of the snow!

The boys had fun making peanut butter cookies with Dad.

The boys set up a little reading nook. I love that Eli is "reading" The Princess Bride.

Greta is our snuggle bug. She is so much more cuddly than the boys. She will come over and want to sit and snuggle on our laps all of the time. I cherish these sweet moments.

She does well drinking milk out of her cup.

I love her smile!

The boys are always wrestling with each other. 

Even though Asa is smaller, he can still hold his own!

Reading with Daddy.

A few weeks ago Eli asked me if he could sleep over at Papa and Nana's house and the rest of our family stay at our house. After I had a good laugh, I asked Nana and we found a date. Eli was so excited to spend the night at their house all by himself! He told everyone about it.

As Brian was dropping him off he told him, "Daddy you can come in and look at the Christmas tree, but then I need my time with Papa and Nana." He is so direct and honest! He had a wonderful time building, making gingerbread cookies, and reading books with Papa and Nana. When he came home we asked him how he slept. He said, " I can still hear Papa snoring, just kidding!" Eli is such a funny kid and he always makes us laugh. I am glad he had such a fun time. 

Greta enjoys playing with her Disney Princess Castle.

Reading with my little loves.

Greta enjoys looking out our front window.

Brian took the boys to the new glow in the dark mini golf course.

Eli took these pictures of Asa today. We think he did a great job!
