We had a great week in Iowa & enjoyed a white Christmas! It was so fun to be home with all the Roe family & to watch the 5 cousins play together. The boys made a lot of memories with their AZ cousins & Uncles & Aunt! Filson also was able to go to school with Meme for her story hour & to spend a morning at work at the hospital with Papa, which he was thrilled about! Thanks to Papa & Meme for such a great time!

Trouble

We had friends over for dinner tonight & discovered if you leave Ian & his buddy Finn alone for a minute, they'll find trouble. Or maybe I should say their dads will find trouble for them!

Christmas Tree

The boys decorating our tree a couple weekends ago.

Saturday we went to the Railroad Museum for a reading of The Polar Express, a visit with Santa, & hot chocolate. Here Filson is receiving his bell from Santa.

The boys in front of our tree tonight.

Candyland Christmas

Don't they look thrilled?!?
Working on his Gingerbread House

Ian tried making one, too, but ate the frosting & candy pieces faster than he could get them on the house!

Making reindeer food to sprinkle in the front yard on Christmas Eve.

Drawing pictures in the art center.

The boys & I went to the Candyland Christmas event at our Children's Museum
this afternoon & they had a lot of fun making lots of crafts & eating loads of sugar!
