Xmas Time!

Wow Xmas has come fast this year.

We have been having lots of Xmas parties at our house and enjoying seeing friends and family.

Carter Updates:
Carter is very excited about santa...here is a recent convo w/him:
Mom: What do you want Santa to bring?
CJ: presents
Mom: what kind of presents?
CJ: Red and Purple Ones

*He enjoys finding a candy each day from our advent calendar and knows that the last RED door is the day that Santa comes.
*Loves going skating on wed's with dad
* Likes to help bring his brothers bottles into the infant class room each morning...such a good helper
* His favorite game is Fumbleruski (made up word by kenny) where they throw the football and both run after it. He is asking Kenny constantly to play!!

Mason Updates:
Little Mason is getting more active every day. He is such a happy little guy and is now sleeping in his big crib in Carters room. We thought it was going to be a hard transition...but he enjoys it.

He is eating lots of veggies and fruits now and we have given him some mash potatoes also.

This weekend we are going to the cities and spending the weekend shopping/swimming/xmas holidazzle parade. Next week we have the paulus family xmas and then we leave for our cruise on the 28th! Everyone is getting excited for Mickey Mouse!
