{ Christmas Time }

The little ones have a couple red/Christmas type outfits and we are putting them to good use this month! Here they are before church last Sunday.

This boy is serious about cleaning! He got the little vacuum on his own this week and "vacuumed" my whole kitchen and dining area. The best part is that he even pulled the kitchen chairs out and vacuumed underneath the table!

Big Sister is busy getting ready for her first semester of high school final exams. Her grades are great and we are really proud of her for working so hard lately! She is exempt from three of her exams so she will have a fairly short school week next week. No one picture of her to post! She is always busy or hiding from the camera.

We made a trip to see Santa this week.

Here's Mr. Handsome before we left.

He is growing up so fast!

And Little Miss with Daisy, HER puppy, "the best dog ever".

(She still has a little bit of a black eye).

They did great with Santa!

She told him she wants lots of princesses and he just sat and stared at Santa.

After they saw Santa, we rode the train at the mall. It is a great ride because it is not on a track. It drives you around the mall which means Mom or Dad gets to go with you! I was the lucky one and was thankful they chose the open car to ride in this time. The conductor gave them both a ticket after he punched it just like on Polar Express. They both love that movie right now and Curly-Q thought that was really neat.
