It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!








Today we getting a lot of snow. They predicted 6", but I'm not sure we will hit that. We meant to take a picture in the daylight, but forgot to catch the big fat flakes coming down. It was a little easier shopping for Christmas presents while it was snowing instead of our usual 65 degree weather.

Garmin hosted a children's holiday party today. The kids had a blast. Both did GREAT sitting on Santa's lap. Emerald helped teach Calvin how to do it (with no tears, yeah), and even shared with Mr. & Mrs. Claus what they both wanted for Christmas. Then we got her face painted (none of that for Calvin yet, but lots of crawling around), completed an ornament craft, and got a balloon animal. The cookies and candy cane were the favorite for both Daddy & Emers.

Last night we went to look at Christmas lights in a park. We enjoyed driving with Aunt Heidi & Uncle Jeff in our van (glad to have it back). Both kids were in awe over the lights. It is nice to find time to enjoy their wonderment of the season.

The house inspection went well. We have a few minor requests for the sellers. Hopefully that will go smoothly and we will be ready to close in early January.

Steph's parents had some things stolen recently at her grandmother's farm. They didn't take much, but it was more emotional than it was about the actual items taken. I hate that for them and wish them well in coping with this event in their life.


What a look given to a goofy sister!

Calvin decided to climb in Emerald's stroller. Good thing she wasn't awake, she'd want to push him around--her very own live baby doll!

Emerald is reading the K-Stater magazine with Daddy. She is our Wildcat in training!


and I quote, "It's ok Mommy, I'm just checking mail. This one's for you." She has been asking when Santa's letter will come. Maybe she was looking for that??
It's torture being a baby and getting all these silly pictures. Notice how rosy his cheeks are?? All that cold weather!
