Christmas Tree 2012: The Great Hunt

It's Here! It's Here!

The Christmas toy catalogs have arrived in the mail and Wes and Addie have been busy browsing through them again and again.  Oh how I remember the joy of looking through the Wish Book when I was a kid.

Gingerbread Train

Addie joined in our annual gingerbread decorating activity this year.  She has a little sweet tooth so I think more candy went in her mouth than onto the train.  Wesley had his fair share as well.  We all had a good time though and they were proud to show off their work.  All aboard!

Shake Your Tail Feathers

Wesley had his preschool Thanksgiving program.  Here is a picture of him at his program as a little indian.  He sang this super cute turkey song.  Wes (& Addie) spent many nights serenading us with a little "Gobble gobble gobble.  Here are my feathers.  Gobble gobble gobble is what I say..."

2012 Family Picture

I have wanted an updated family picture for ages.  The last one we have is when Addie was just a few weeks old.  Over a year I have said on many Friday nights, we are doing a family picture this weekend.  For whatever reason they never happened.  So I am so proud to say that we finally followed through this last weekend.  Here is our latest family "self" portrait.  We didn't have much time as it was late in the day and I had to fasten a yellow duck on top of the camera to give the kids something to look at, but all in all I think we have a keeper.  :)

Addie's Two Year Stats

Our little princess two!  She's turned into a ball full of laughs.  She definitely has a playful spirit and loves to make people laugh.  Her favorite things lately are Minnie Mouse, princesses, and Stuart Little movies.  We constantly hear the request for "Ouse Oobie".  We are so sick of watching the mouse movie and look forward to Addie selecting a new favorite movie.  :)

At her two year check-up she weighed in at 25 lbs, 14oz (36th percentile) and measured 35 3/4 inches long (89th percentile).

Reading to Santa

It is only early November, but the kids insisted we break out the light up santa and put him in their playroom.  Then they both grabbed books and started to read to him.  It was pretty cute.  I think they are trying to get on the nice list.
