December 2012

 Happy boys!

 And happy kids!

 Audrey did most of the tree decorating this year. Christopher just watched.

 And for some reason she wanted me to take a picture of her praying.

And the tree had a party hat again this year. An Audrey tradition. :)

Thanksgiving 2012 and Misc.

 Christopher did not want to wear the Thanksgiving turkey feathers but he did finally take pics with his cousins. It was nap time and he was done. See below for melt down.

 Audrey LOVES magnifying glasses! And loves to investigate.

 It's serious business.

 The aforementioned meltdown.

 My little boy hamming it up for the camera. He likes sitting on the counter while I am cooking. He was eating raisins while dinner was being prepared.

Christopher outgrew another pair of shoes. He's up to size 8 now. Both of my kids have huge feet!

LegoLand

 Then we walked the tunnel from Union Station to Crown Center and went to Lego Land.

 I weigh this much in Legos!

 Christopher took the shooting game seriously.

Lots of fun and the kids were worn out!

Union Station Trains

 We went to Union Station for our their annual train display, our fourth year in a row.

 And just like last year Christopher went crazy over the trains!

 We could have stayed all day if it was up to him!

Fall Baking

 The kids have really gotten into helping out in the kitchen.

 Especially with cookies!

 For fall we made Jayhawks, turkeys and footballs!ris

Each kid got a tray of cookies to sprinkle. Christopher got a little carried away with the red! :)

November 2012

 Audrey learned about chores and helping out at home at church so she asked if she could rake the leaves.

 She really tired but it was hard so we gave up after awhile and just played.
