Singing

This video cracks me up.  He wanted to sing Beauty and the Beast, but doesn't know the words.  He goes into a little bit of jibberish at the end.  My favorite part is the ending. ha! Perhaps we will skip the singing lessons....it might be a lost cause. 

Cousins

My kids are so lucky to have so many cousins (ok some of them are 2nd cousins but in this family, they are as close as first cousins).  It's so fun to see them play together and accept each new one that comes along.  These photos are precious because I know before we know it they will all be big kids and won't even fit on this couch anymore!

Quote of the Day

While looking at my Eat clean book, Eli says
"Who's that Mom?" (on the cover)
"Her name is Tosca"
"Why does she have no shirt on?"
"She's showing her muscles. She's really in shape."
"In shape? She's a rectangle?"

Dolls

Hana has started to really like playing with dolls.  She gives them hugs, feeds them bottles even washes their hair.  Sometimes though, I think she's the best doll of all.  She even fits in the doll furniture.

Christmas PJ's

Christmas jammies are the best. I kind of wish I had gotten these in adult sizes too!

Cozy in their Christmas pj's

 Smooch face!

December

December is finally here and we've been busy.  The turkey is ready in the freezer, presents are almost all purchased, the Grinch and Rudolph make weekly appearances on the television.  All I'm missing is my annual bottle of Baileys - I better get on that.  Here are a few photos from the last week.

The first snowman of the year. Eli named him "Binch".

Backyard tobogganing

Hana's first real extended period out in the snow.  Let's just say she's got her Mother's genes for cold.

This girl loves boots and wears them all the time - even in the house.

Brother and Sister. I think they are starting to look more alike!
