Christmas Village

Usually every December I spend a little on new Christmas decorations. This year I got a Christmas village. I'm hoping I can add to it each year (although I have no idea where I'll put it all!).

Christmas 2010 decor!

Christmas train

We had Amber Dickey take a photo shoot of our family today. First family photo since Gid was born! We went to Shiloh Museum in Springdale, and took pics in several different spots on their grounds. Very cool place to get them taken! Speaking of cool, it was COLD outside! Made Gideon uncooperative and fussy. :-/ Hoping we got a couple goods ones anyway. After the shoot, we went to ride the AR/MO Railroad's annual kids Christmas train. It was Daniel's first time to ride a real train! It was packed too! The ride was about 45 minutes and the scenery wasn't pretty at all. Mainly passed warehouses and construction sites (Daniel enjoyed seeing the diggers). A lady who couldn't carry a tune led us all in singing several Christmas songs, and to top it off Santa came through and talked with the passengers. We had fun although I don't think we will try taking Gid again until he's older!

Friday

This morning the kids helped me make this sign for Jan. She's setting up a booth to sell bags and jewelry for Amy. Later, we went to the promenade mall with Grandma to shop. The boys had fun playing and riding the train!

Thursday fun

Went to the Blevins grandparent's this afternoon. The boys had fun playing outside as always!

Kisses

Gideon has been giving lots of kisses to those he loves this week! He even makes the kissing noise. So cute! This week is the first he's ever done that.

Busy day!

We went to Fun City this morning for a couple hours. We go almost every Wednesday cause it's dollar day, so we can get drinks and mini pizzas for $1 each. Mom and Cat went with us. Also, several young moms came too. Fun! After that, Jan watched the boys at home while I did some much needed grocery shopping (and a little Christmas shopping too!). Then we went to church. I was thankful there was only one toddler (Reagan Sylvester) in class since Phillip wasn't there to help. It was a busy day!
