This little darling had a birthday! His favorite present was a blanket. (He loves blankets, and this one was pretty cool.) He loved his Spiderman, made by his Grandma and we also got him a tiny little balance bike.

It was a fun day. We had a Christmas party at church, watched Peter at his last day of basketball camp, and then had a birthday party with family. We ate cake, and then went and saw Christmas lights in the pouring rain.

Are you ever at someone’s house and just want to take a look around and see how they do things? I hope I’m not the only one. If you want to see my home…

I have a very detailed home tour of my current house up on the other blog. You might find it interesting. It even has a floorplan so you have more context when looking at a picture.

The children went to the Treehouse Museum with Dad, while I stayed home. They were there for hours and had a good time. I was bummed I missed it!

Tis the season for weird pictures of kids with a random stranger.

I think I like this idea better. The other kids were cutting out snowflakes.

While we were in Wyoming for Thanksgiving, we went exploring and found this wonderful place. We played here all afternoon, the kids enjoyed climbing rocks.

We decided to go out to my twin sister’s house for Thanksgiving. There is a bit of risk in driving through Wyoming during winter. The roads were actually closed when we drove out, but we drove through anyway. And then I clipped a deer on the way home too, so we need to fix our front headlight.

We left at 3:00 am and got there in plenty of time for a wonderful Thanksgiving day.

Curtis had his winter preschool program. It was awesome to go see him sing and play with his classmates.

We love his teacher, and he has blossomed in preschool!

This picture describes my boys. A shy smile from Curtis, a huge smile from Henry, and Peter reading in the background.

We were outside just as soon as it was light.
