Feliz Navidad!

Holiday Outing...

We took advantage of a few days off Luis had to go downtown and take in some of the holiday fun. We got to see the gingerbread display and Kalaidascope at the Crown Center, see the amazing lights of the Plaza, and visit to "Dinosaurs Unearthed" exhibit at Union Station. We even got to eat a few grown up restaurants. Yeah! :)

Christmas Concert

Ben's school concert was yesterday. He was a little nervous in the morning, but we agreed that we'd go out to celebrate at the local ice cream parlor afterwards. The "glitter gloves" were the highlight!

Ben's Birthday Bash

Well, they came, they tore the place up, then they left.:) That would be Ben's birthday friends. Actually it was lot of fun. He had a Toy Story theme- which Sophia really got into the most.

Countdown to Thanksgiving...

We are getting excited for our trip to Savannah next week. It will be awesome to have the cousins all reunited and (hopefully) enjoy some warm outdoor time, too.
The cold and rain here have meant more indoor time here, which ultimately means ALOT more refereeing on my part between Sophia and Ben.:O The sign here, in fact, was created and posted on Ben's door this week...he explained the line through his sister's picture means "No sisters allowed." Nice. Sophie has taken a greater interest in the Noah's ark and Sammi lately. Ben- Star Wars all the way!

The Latest...

Ben's class had a week of cooking and he proudly wore his chef hat home.

May the Force ...

Poor Ben & Sophia came down with the stomach flu leading up to and on Halloween, so it was touch and go all day. They rallied at the end and we ended up taking a loop around the neighborhood and they had fun. Sophia REALLY got into character as the Fairy Queen and Ben got excited to meet all the other Star Wars characters on the road.:)
