Almost there

Not only are we counting down Christmas in our house we are counting down the arrival of family member #5. So what is normally a crazy time of year has turned into a astronomical undertaking. {I told chad that we will be celibate from March till April from now on so that I can make certain we don't have another Holiday baby}

I am amazed though at the stuff I have been able to crank out to get everything ready.

A new tradition

My sister found a live Nativity in Alpine that we all went to for FHE. Well I thought we were going to a live Nativity, little did I know that we were going back in time to Bethlehem, complete with camels and Roman soldiers.

This is the best picture we got, Gavin was NOT happy about being so close to a camel. It really was a great experience. Hopefully you all can make it next year, as we went on the last night.

Christmas list

I hate toys that take batteries and especially ones that make a lot of noise. So here is a list of some of the toys on my kids Christmas lists this year.

My boys have been asking for drums for a while now and how can I resist with this darling set.

Don't worry about putting this seesaw away when company comes, it looks like art.

How cute will #3 look when he is pushing this cute walker around the house.

Not only are they getting exercise with this tricycle they are helping the earth.
