OH Christmas tree 2012

Putting the star on the tree

Today we began our Christmas decorating.  As I was organizing my nativity set I was pretending that the wise men all brought chocolate to the baby Jesus.  When Mom suggested that they might bring gold, frankincense and myrrh, I replied, "I think he would rather have chocolate."  -Kate

Here's what we've been up to....

We went to San Antonio and got to watch Uncle Ben repel down a tall building to raise money for Special Olympics.  It was so cool!

I really like taking my own shopping cart to HEB and doing a little shopping of my own.

Uncle John got me this cool new John Deere hat.   Cool.

My first Slim Jim.  

Relaxing at the library

Just after bath time.

Campfire smores!

Hanging around the campfire with Mom.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  We had a wonderful weekend at Blackjack with Mimi, Gigi, Popo and Uncle John.  We had a yummy Thanksgiving dinner and we built a campfire at night for hot dogs and smores.

Happy Halloween!

A rainbow unicorn and Tinkerbell

Trick or Treat!  Luke made it to one door and got one lollipop before the tummy troubles started and he was done.

Last night we celebrated Halloween with the Jefferies.  Kate picked everyone's costume this year and assigned Dad Ironman, Mom Butterfly, Luke Cow, and herself Rainbow Unicorn.  We didn't last very long because Luke had a sick tummy and Kate took a spill on the sidewalk, so they were both ready to head home by 7:30.  Still a Happy Halloween!!
