Happy December!

Well, I took a little bit of a blog break... We were busy, and once I got behind it seemed like a lot of work to catch back up! So, I'll do a brief recap of our November and then get to real-time. We had a fantastic November. On an early weekend in November Ryan, Marianne, Ben, Brad, and Karissa came for the weekend. Karissa and I watched Ben, Jack, and Andy while the rest of the guys went to the Packer vs. Cowboys game (a great game for the Packer fans!) We had a fun early Thanksgiving in Delafield and celebrated my mom and Marianne's birthdays. Then we went to Madison over Thanksgiving break. We ate delicious dinners, went to a Badgers Volleyball game, and went to the Madison Children's museum. Andy had a great time exploring downtown Madison, including the capital building.

Andy has been having fun at preschool and both boys are doing really well in their swim lessons. And now we only have a couple of weeks until Christmas! It's so easy to get into the Christmas spirit when you have a 3 year old. Andy is SO excited for Christmas :) Jack doesn't really know what's going on, but he's been having fun with our Christmas decorations. We got a visit from St. Nick yesterday where the boys got some small presents.

Andy excited about his Christmas stamps...
Jack checking out his new Matchbox car (playing cars is his favorite activity lately)

Andy opening up his Matchbox airplane...

Jack's been working on this move for awhile... he still needs help flipping into a somersault, but he thinks it's very fun. Dancing to some Christmas music!

Andy was busy with paper airplanes for about 2 hours last night - he would stamp the paper with his new stamps, then I'd fold it into an airplane, and he would fly the airplanes into that big "tree monster."

Bailey got a bone from St. Nick, but looks sad in this picture because he ate it way too fast...
Here's an action shot of Jack getting a kiss from Bailey :)
Jack and I (and Bailey)
Jack likes pointing out the zebra on our Christmas tree...

I'll try to do better in December with the blogging... We've got my cousin Lisa's wedding next weekend and then Christmas will be here before we know it!
