Merry Christmas!

A few Clayton stories to brighten your Christmas:

Earlier this week, I asked him what kind of cake we should bake for Baby Jesus' birthday. He thought for a few seconds then replied by asking, "Will the mailman take it to the stable?"

As we were getting everything ready for Santa (setting out the cookies and the reindeer food) Clayton looked up at Cyle and asked, "But how does Santa see in the night?" Cyle told him he had a flashlight. Then Clayton asked, "Does he bring it into the dark, scary chimney, too?"

After we had set everything out for Santa and checked his status on Norad's site, Clayton proclaimed, "Let's get to bed! And quick!" Never have we heard those words out of his mouth!

We wish you a very Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Crafts



These are a couple of the crafts I done for Christmas. I made the holly wreath for my friend Angie. And the Rudolph shirts are made with the boys' handprints.

Snow, Snow, Snow!





If I didn't know any better, I'd still think we were living in Ottawa! So far we've gotten well over 2 feet of snow this year. The snow we got this past weekend was record setting! Truly, we are in a winter wonderland. Clayton is loving the snow. He just can't get enough of it. Levi is starting to warm up to it...a little bit. It sure will make for a pretty Christmas if it lasts!

Great Missouri Visit







We spent two and a half weeks in Missouri to celebrate deer season and Thanksgiving. We had a great time visiting all of our friends and family!
