Naughty or Nice

Bailey got an email from Santa saying she wasn't quite on the nice list yet.  She wasn't too upset as she started making her own nice list.  Later in the day Devin reminded her she wasn't on it and she said, "I'm making the list!"

Here she is, still making her list.

6 Months!

 He is such a happy boy!  

He rolls himself all over the floor and often finds himself stuck under or in between something.

Yesterday he was playing on the floor and got himself a present and had it partially unwrapped before anyone noticed.

Its Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

Thanksgiving weekend we took Grandma and Grandpa Larsen and Uncle Daren to see the lights at Indian Creek.

The next weekend we went to our usual tree lot to pick the perfect tree.  We came home and put the lights on and then waited until the next morning to decorate it. 

Bailey was protecting the snowflake the whole time so she could be the one to put it on this year. 

"Santa!"

We missed the Caldwell tree lighting last night where we take the kids to see Santa.  I was thinking it was next weekend.  So we took the kids over to the Christmas show today.

Ryleigh was going to sit on Mrs. Claus's lap but when they got up there, Mrs. Claus motioned for both girls to sit on Santa's lap.

Bailey ran right up with her arms out and shouted, "Santa!"

They told Santa what they wanted and Santa reminded them to listen to their mom.  Smart Santa!

Bentley was very curious as to who this lady was that was holding him.

A Whole Different World

Bentley got to sit up in the shopping cart last night.  He loved being a big kid!

Why is This Not Working?

Bentley thinks this is the way to get moving.  It never works but it sure is funny to watch.  He gets pretty mad after awhile.  He reminds me of a penguin sliding on their belly.

When he is on his back he puts his feet and hands on the floor and scoots himself backwards.  I think that is what he is trying to do but it doesn't work the same on your belly.

Snow!

We had our first snow way early this year.  The girls were so excited when they woke up and saw it.  It snowed all day.  As soon as we got home from Auntie's, they had to go out and play.  First item of business...

snow angels! 

Then we had to pull out the sleds to try them out on the driveway. 

Bailey was throwing the snow up in the air over and over. 

She eventually tried out the sled too 

It snowed all night which resulted in a snow day for me!  We headed to the favorite snow hill park for some sledding fun.  Bailey didn't last very long so I took her and Bentley to the car while Ryleigh and Dad continued to play.
