... and Lucas and Shellie had planned to decorate Christmas cupcakes....
... so the kids got to do both!!!
The kids loved the gingerbread houses the best!!!
Brenner wanted a pic with the Nutcracker for Grandma Blake.
Merry Christmas!!!
Terek is such a crazy little boy! He wants to be a big boy like his big brothers.... he wants to do everything that they do. He won't sit in his high chair. He doesn't want his food cut up and it must be on a plate and he must eat it with a fork. He loves to color (especially on his clothes). He wants to play on the computer. He wants to sit on the couch with a Wii controller in his hand and play like his brothers. He loves to climb. The list goes on. 
I'm participating in a Boutique in my old neighborhood (Oquirrh Park) on Saturday and I will have some more fun frames like these. Also, check out my craft blog, Twiddle Thumbs on Friday, for pics of my frames.... they are my new obsession!
We put lights on our house.
Each kid gets their own tree to decorate with their own ornaments. They get to buy a new ornament each year and then they can also put the ornaments that make at school on their tree. Terek keeps pulling everyone's trees over trying to get the ornaments off.
The boys were really nice to share their ornaments with each other. Joren gave his Elmo ornament to Terek. Brenner gave his Cars ornament to Joren and Joren gave his Hulk ornament to Brenner.
A black and white living room is not complete without a black and white tree. This picture does not do it justice!!!
Merry Christmas. We are excited for our Christmas countdown. We loaded up the advent calendar today with our daily activities and candy, of course. Joren helped me put the candy in. We had rolos and kisses. First he said, "mom, I need to try one of each." Then he said, "mom, I had to eat this one because it was open." After me telling him again and again to stop eating them, he said, "I have to eat this one because I can't remember what it tastes like." He was full of all of the excuses tonight!!!
He was nice and shared one with Joren too!
Don't they look awesome!!! (I totally don't want to say what I think they look like in case it makes my blog come up in some sort of weird search).
They did love it. That guy can do some amazing stuff with legos.
These were the kid's favorites, but he had some amazing other things too.
The funny thing about it was that it took them about 10 minutes to see all of the art and then they were done. We drove an hour to park city for 10 minutes. However, in the basement, they had some legos out so the kids could build their own art. They spent an additional 30 minutes down there.
It's a good thing we needed something to keep us busy on a friday afternoon and the drive was rather peaceful. 
He was very quiet so I thought maybe he was being naughty. I went up there and he had the door locked. But all he was doing was putting the plug covers back on (I guess he was afraid we would get mad at him... that must happen often:)
