Painting ornaments

I got some wooden ornaments for 39cents each at Jo- Ann's and Keira and daddy painted them and made them all glittery. Can anyone tell which ornament Mike painted???? :o)

making cookies

Our kids love to make a mess---I mean bake- with daddy!

Frosting Christmas cookies

Our best shot with Santa

I never bring my kids to the mall so they can sit on Santa's lap. As you can see they are clearly terrified by him. Mikes work had a Christmas party for kids and Santa was there so we did the sit with Santa and take a pic thing.... Keira wouldn't get any closer or sit on his lap hence her sitting on the arm chair and Israel's face depicts what he thought of Santa perfectly.

Israel's first time out

Daddy places Israel in our time out spot... ( I told Mike Israel was way to young to understand time out but Mike wanted to try it anyways...)

Israel waves his arms up and down in excitement ( he has seen Keira placed here way to many times!!!) "This is fun daddy!"

"But you can't make me stay here! I'm outta here!"

Mike tried to place him back in time out about 5 times and each time Israel got up and laughed and it became a game....

My little helper

Do I look like my dad or what??

Yeah we still aren't sure either. Some days I swear he looks like Mike and other days I don't know who he looks like.

Keira's photo shoot

We are keeping her busy with lots of fun advent stuff and will soon begin cookie making!! Yum!

Christmas Parade

Keira and Israel's first parade experience. At first they were both cranky from having to bundle up but then they got caught up in the noise and lights and had a great time. It was cold though!!!!!!!!!!
