Holidays

I can't believe how fast the holidays came and went.  We had lots of fun and lots of activities.  Here's a couple to share with you.  We also didn't get a letter out this year.  So we hope all are doing well.  We miss all our friends in distant places.

Playing at the gym

Fun with bubbles

After I came back with my gingerbread house the boys were excited about making one as well.

Caleb made dinner for us.  A holiday fruit and vegetable tree and monster sandwiches.

My mom got the boys the same shirts.
