The cutest little angels

"today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:11
Today two of the cutesy little angels helped deliver that message at church. Emmeline has been so cute talking and learning about the Christmas story. When she found out she could help with it at church she was soooo excited. Her brother in the other hand was not bitten by the performing bug. It ended up working out because Emmeline was paired up with her favorite boy, Zeke. I secretly wish I could arrange to marry them off in let's say 30 years.

A Big Pizza Pie

My little love Caden is rarely interested in food unless it could be found somewhere in Italy. My little Italian would eat pepperoni, salami, pastrami, meatballs, and pizza 7 days a week if i let him. He took his pizza making very seriously tonight. We normally make small individual pizzas, but tonight we opted for a big, thick crust pizza. Despite the odd shape, it was pretty delicious.

Party Animals

What a bunch of party animals we are! We had a Christmas party yesterday and two birthday parties today. The twins and I headed to Kids Gone Wild for a super hero party. I feel like I should sent Mathias's mom a thank you note for tiring out my kids. While we were going WILD Daddy and Jackson headed over for Uncle J's birthday. The enjoyed a delicious dinner and Aunt Cory's famous cake pops. It was a fun, but exhausting end of the week.
Happy Birthday Uncle J ~ we hope you have a great birthday!

All Aboard

We are huge fans of the book Polar Express and for years we have tried to get tickets to ride the "Polar Express" in Sacramento. We found out that a former student has 4 tickets they are looking to sell. So... It looks like we are all aboard for the Polar Express. I am super excited to dress in our jammies and sip on hot coco. December 16th can not get here soon enough.

Prayer time

I need to secretly record the kid's prayers one night. They always put a smile on my face. Tonight Emmeline thanked God for every person in our family not once but twice. She then said thank you for Jesus and Mose and for Grandpa to get better (so proud) and then she followed that up with Santa and Unicorns. Again I was trying not to giggle. Luckily she was getting hungry and ended her prayer. She cracks us up.

Where does she get this?

Tonight Chris and I did not have our finest parenting moment. After hearing a loud crash in Emmeline's room we went in to investigate. She came up with an interesting story. We were trying so hard not to laugh and and talk to her about telling the truth and we couldn't contain it any longer. Her new favorite comments are "ackward" and "that's just perfect". She cracks us up.

Different Ends of the Spectrum

After a loooong day at the craft fair I was ready to come home and curl up on the couch. That plan doesn't work so well when you have 3 adorable kiddos running up to greet you at the door. After a yummy dinner of sauce and meatballs Dad headed off to football and the kids and I enjoyed Rudolph. After the kids went down I was so excited to get caught up on one of my favorite shows Downton Abbey. The husband thinks it is hysterical that my two favorite shows right now are Sons of Anarchy and a PBS Masterpiece - you really can't get any farther on the spectrum.
