Christmas Eve

Danny had to work part of the day so the boys and I just hung out and waited for Dad to get home. Matthew wasn't feeling very well most the day so he pretty much just slept. When Danny got home Mason and I ran a few last minute errands and I took him to see the movie Alvin and the chipmunks. Matthew woke up feeling much better so we went ahead and went to the 7 pm service at First Lutheran. We sang Silent Night by candlelight and Mason thought he was so special because he got to hold his own candle. The service was beautiful and we all enjoyed getting to go. After church we came home ate spaghetti and made cookies for Santa.

Staples

Last night Matthew and Mason were playing football in the living room, Matthew tackled Mason a wee bit too hard and Mason fell and hit his head on the corner of the wall. It was awful and there was lots of blood. We took him to the ER and they said he would be fine and gave him 2 staples. He says it doesn't even hurt but that he will not be playing football in the living room again. It freaked me out - yuck! The bottom picture is Mason with the stapler that the ER doctor gave him. He can't wait to take it to school and show all of his friends.

Pictures

Just a few pictures we took a couple of weeks ago.

Decorating for Christmas

Last weekend the boys helped their Dad hang Christmas lights and also rake and bag leaves. He even let them get on the roof of the house for a couple of minutes which they loved. They made the outside of the house look very pretty.

Thanksgiving

We traveled to Denton, Tx for Thanksgiving to Danny's grandparents house. I only got a couple of pictures while we were there - I guess I didn't do very well. The boys had a great time playing with their cousins and their aunt Megan who was home from West Point. It was great to see everybody.

Basketball Time

Mason has started YMCA basketball and is having a great time playing. We have only had one game which didn't go so well but hopefully the next one will be better. Danny is coaching his team which Mason really enjoys.
