Christmas part 1

The mall Santa. Sarah wasn't too excited about this but of course, Caleb loved it!Our happy tree decorators!

Picking out the perfect Christmas tree!

We got really messy decorating Christmas cookies. We love sprinkles! Not to eat, just to pour out! Our friend Jackson and his mom joined us for some good fun!

New Pix of the Kids

Peek a boo
The presents are all mine!

Close up!
We had pictures taken of the kids recently and these were some of our favorites that we didn't order. There were too many to choose from.

Elmo...Again!

We took the kids to see Sesame Street Live again recently. It was actually here in Eugene. This one was all about music. Very cute! The kids absolutely loved it. Caleb rocked out. He stood in his chair dancing the entire time. Sarah was mesmerized by it all, I think her favorite part was singing the ABC's along with the characters.

Adventures in Potty Training

So we officially started potty training at our house. We started with Sarah, she showed more of an interest. Caleb is a great cheerleader for her though. He occassionally wants to try but for the most part it's a lot of Hooray for sister! This picture was fun. She's in her plastic pants, a great cow hat (thanks g'ma & papa), her potty watch, playing her very loud recorder!

First Lollypops!

Okay, I know, silly post. But this was a big deal. I've been really aprehensive about going here! The of course loved it! Caleb savored his, until it was next to nothing, while big sis sucked on hers about half way and then chomped...just like daddy!

Thanksgiving

5 little monkeys jumping on the bed, no one fell off (thank goodness) and bumped their heads. Caleb and Sarah both loved jumping on the bed with all of their cousins! And the older kids were really great with them!

Caleb hamming it up with daddy.

There was a little stuffed turkey that gobbled. Sarah loved it. Here Grandma is "getting" her with it.

More Halloween Fun

We took the kids to Oregon Gardens this weekend for some Halloween fun. They had a fall festival with lots of fun activities. There was a costume parade, a mini pumpkin sling-shot, crafts, animals (note the monkey hugging the snake tail), a hay-ride and a kid sized corn maze. It was a nice day and a fun outing. We had extra fun because the Brunsvolds' were there too!

A fellow twin didn't want to wear his moving monster truck costume so Caleb helped him out. The wheels actually rolled as you walked inside and Caleb drove it all over. This was at our Twins' Club Halloween party.

More pumpkin goo! This year the kids helped me clean out the pumpkin. I scrapped it off, they scooped it out. It was very fun. We carved our pumpkin and roasted the seeds which they love snacking on!
