Villa Kids & Small Group Christmas Party

Nathan and I making a card to go with a Christmas treat for all of the awesome people that love on him and Josh at Villa Kids.  (Our advent activity that day)




All ready to go!  Age- this is that awesome peanut butter treat you gave me the recipe for!



Cutest little elf around :)

Cutest big elf? :)


Matt wanted to be festive for our small group Christmas party.  It was "tackiest Christmas sweater optional".  


Jen could hardly take him seriously!!!


We went to Ryan & Julie's for the party...and got sitters for the kiddos!


Some of the white elephant gifts might have been slightly "adult only" :)  I'll give you one guess who is responsible! ha ha.


Nice!






Dave & Sarena!

2nd Weekend in December

Saturday morning snow shoveling with daddy!














Josh and I came out for like a minute...it was cold!




He wasn't happy about something!  Getting kids in and out of snow clothes is such a racket!


Nathan helping me with laundry! 


Kind of :)


Tickle attack :)


Now he's after me!


We went to REI and then Panera Bread for dinner!




Sunday morning after church Nathan wanted us all to sit on the fireplace :)


Check out Nathan's face!


He dressed George in a tie for church that morning.  Seriously.




At home.  Getting Josh set to walk.  Josh started walking a lot in December!  He seems to get better every day!




Yay Josh!

Here's a video of some of his first steps!

My sweet, fun boys!






This day before the "Activity" was to get an ornament for the tree.  Nathan got a truck!






Trying to find the perfect spot...that Josh can't reach!



There we go!




Dressed in pj's to go look at Christmas lights!  We broke out Christmas pajamas :)


It's hard to get a picture of Josh these days...he's always walking away!

Jen made that hat for Nathan two years ago!   It fits him now and he LOVES it.  I'm kind of glad it fits now because he's old enough to  know Jen made it for him and he thinks that's so cool.

Ready to go...Nathan's knocking on the door :)


Video of us starting out! :)




Nathan's all time favorite...Snoopy pulling Charlie Brown out of the chimney!


When my camera flashed Josh's brow would furrow!  So funny :)




Back home!






Josh always falls into the person waiting to catch him!






Our skinny tree fits well in our living room :)
