What we've been up to...

Jared brought home these little lights that slide on to your fingers.  We had a light show all over the house.  Caleb thought it was more fun to put them on his feet and helped Daddy do it too.
Sam has the best bus driver ever.  His bus driver got permission to take supplies to and sing for a local nursing home.  This is Sam practicing with his little buddy before the show.
 Caleb got to ride on the bus from the nursing back to the school.
 All the kids on the bus and driver.
 We got to go to Colorado for a week to go snowboarding with some friends.  On our way to the slopes we got to see some old friends.  Thanks Thomas family for hanging out with us and our crazy kids.
 Grandma came too and helped with the kids.
 This is Beaver Creek 
 We lucked out.  It snowed the day we got there and a few times while we there so we got lots of powder.  Yay.
 They had an ice rink in the middle of the village resort.
 Caleb loved the snow.
 Good thing he didn't get his tongue stuck.
 The kdis had so much fun ice skating.
 We even got to see Santa.

 Caleb wouldn't sit on his lap but he did get pretty close.  When Santa asked if he had been a good boy Caleb said, "no".  
 Christmas Eve at the Cattens, opening Christmas jammies.  We love our cousins.

Sam

I love this kid.  The first time I laid eyes on him I finally understood the term sweetheart.  I've thought many times since, "Oh my sweet heart.  Does life get any better than this!"  He is an amazing kid, so thoughtful, artistic, sensitive, and all boy.  I took these pictures, in November, when the leaves were changing.  What a cutie.
