It's been a while

I've been busy with getting my house cleaned up and a ton of last minute shopping. I haven't had time to update my blog lately so I do apologize to any family out there wondering what the heck we've been up to. The kids are getting excited for Santa. We have been talking a lot about Christmas and why we have it. After we say our blessing or after prayers at night or just randomly riding down the road she says "Happy Birthday Jesus." It's cute and funny.

(she never misses a posing opportunity)

Cole is learning to climb on everything. If I leave the room for a second or turn my back he is on the couch or on some other piece of furniture. He thinks it's funny.

Anna & Cole got some of their presents in the mail from Ganpa. Anna immediately went for the blocks and insisted we help her build a castle. Yesterday her dollhouse came in and she has barely moved from in front of it.

Last week we built our first fort in the living room. Both kids loved it. Cole wanted to get on top. Anna just wanted to destroy it from the inside.
