Papa came with us to the Santa Claus parade, and Henry went to Grandma & Grandpa's because there was a freezing drizzle coming down.
We did ok with our umbrellas, we took the stroller in case one of the girls got sick of standing, but all it got used for was holding candy - I couldn't believe how much was handed out to the girls!
The day before our 12th wedding anniversary we went downtown for Up on the Rooftops with Misti, Dan, and Bill - no kids! It was wonderful, we had dinner, then walked together downtown and checked out some of the upstairs homes and businesses.
Then we went to JP's and felt pretty hip until a kid who worked there commented that the guys looked like they were sleeping. I suppose they do look a bit tired.
With the super cold temperatures outside we have been spending even more time in the basement playing with all of the toys!
It doesn't matter what the temperature is outside, the girls are ALWAYS taking off their socks!
Henry loves working at the toolbench with Elmo.
Leila has been doing more picture taking, she thinks it is the best.
She is getting better, but does tend to cut off heads most of the time.
The girls love to play on the ipad whenever I will let them. There are tons of educational games that make me feel like they are learning.
They sometimes even work together on projects, like stacking like colors.
Henry looks pretty happy with the mess he just made all over his face.
And just about as happy helping to clean it up!
For an early Christmas present we got Henry two CAT trucks that he can ride or walk behind and both work with building blocks so he can really grow into them.
Here is another Leila shot, but Henry is not in the mood for another picture.
Getting ready for the Christmas card, I took a bunch of close pictures of each of the girls,
Stella was harder to get a good one of.
This was as good as it got.
Merry Christmas from our family to yours! May God bless you and keep you in the coming year.
