Christmas Highlights
New Christmas Sweaters!
New labels on my new spice jars thanks to my new Silhouette Cameo
Santa came early since we were going to be at Grandma's house and brought us a new DVD player for in the car to replace the one that got stolen this summer...THANK YOU SANTA!
Hot Cocoa with whipped cream and candy canes!
Tuck got to test out his new snow shovel.
My new creation was a felt Christmas tree the kids could decorate over and over again.

Toy Story on Ice
Way back in December we took the "big kids" to see Toy Story on Ice. I had a blast, and I think they did too! My favorite part of the actual show was when Ken and Barbie met...and it was love at first sight!
Tucker's Favorite part was seeing Buzz all over the place! He makes a pretty cute Buzz himself.
Maeli loved that she knew all the characters and that they looked just like the movies!
They were both pretty pumped to be at the show.
I think Jeremy liked that Buzz in Asian in real life :0)

Christmas Crafts
I found myself with some "free" time the other day (ignoring the dishes, laundry, errands, and kids for a few hours) and was feeling crafty...
I'm not allowed to really display them until after Thanksgiving, but I'm getting ready for Christmas!

One Thing I love About These Kids...
Sometimes I forget that I love my kids, that I'm lucky to have them. I'm thankful to be home with them, but its not easy, so lately I've been trying to get ready for Thanksgiving my trying to remember what I'm thankful for. So this past week I wanted to capture a moment with each kid that is special to me...
I clip coupons, and when I pull out the paper to get started the kids get really excited to help, I let them cut up adds and stuff that I won't use. The other day the Special Target Toy book came and Tucker snatched it right away (I also love that he waits to see the picture of "the football guys" on the sports page and snatches that up right away every week) He spent at least an hour carefully checking out each and every page. What I loved, is that he didn't ask for any of the toys, he didn't say "I want this" about anything. He made comments and he showed me the things he thought were awesome, but he was just studying the toys. He's such a sweetheart, but we rarely have moments of peace and calm, and this was so special to sit with him and work on our paper together.
Riker is getting so much personality and is determined to be independent. Lately, this has manifested itself with clothing. He's trying to do more and more himself. In this case he was wearing one of Tucker's shirts and trying to put on one of Maeli's shirts as pants. I found him and said "what are are you wearing?" and he said "Pretty." He was quite determined to wear this outfit to do our errands, my only saving grace was that its so cold he wanted "more" clothes on. I love watching him grow and become more of an individual and so much just a generic baby. He's so cute.
Miss Maeli has so much attitude. A blessing and a burden. She's very stubborn and quick tempered (a bit like her Daddy). I love that she is confident in herself, I love that she has a strong belief in right and wrong and won't let anyone get away with what she thinks is wrong. Including me. She reminds me daily of all the things that I can work on, but she's also always willing to help me be a better mom, and help me hold it together when things are a little too crazy. She knows me so well and picks up on all my cues that I can't handle another moment. She tries to help the boys stay busy so I can try to be productive, but she really only wants to help with whatever I'm working. I love my sweet Maeli, and in spite of the doors slamming and screaming how Daddy is better than me, I know she loves me too.
