Just some stuff....

Granny this post is mostly for you. :) We haven't done anything exciting for the last little while but here are just a few pictures of life at our house. Caeli had so much fun decorating the tree. Luckily Cohen hasn't really bothered the tree very much. I have WAY too many decorations for our little tree. I kept at least half of them in the box and the tree is still pretty full. We had to go with a little tree because our living room isn't very big. I was just glad that we got to have a real tree. Even though at this point it is super dry and making a huge mess if you even breathe on it.

Caeli being silly. She makes me laugh all of the time.

We made Grandma's Yummy ginger cookies the other day. They would have turned out great, and a few batches did, but my oven is a hunk of junk and the temperature fluctuates when I am cooking. A couple of batches were fine, one was way over done and one took forever to cook. I promise I know how to make cookies, for a girl that hates to bake I can at least do cookies. It really is my oven. The kids ate lots of cookie dough. They were a huge mess, but they loved it.

I am so grateful for this time of year. It's really fun for Caeli to be old enough to get it. Not only Santa and all of that jazz, but she understands that it is when we celebrate Jesus' birth. She keeps telling me that Jesus was wrapped in "toddling" clothes and slept on the hay. Children are so innocent. I can see why we are told to be "as little children" full of so much faith and love and so forgiving. I am really grateful to my Heavenly Father for my children. What a blessing!
