We got about 3 inches of snow last week and the kids have had lots of fun playing in it.

The older boys decided to give their December allowance money to help the people in the Philippines and so they have been trying to find ways to earn money around the house so they could afford to buy each other presents.  The day it snowed, Reagan decided to go around the neighborhood charging 2.00 to shovel a driveway.  He and Cade teamed up and as we saw with the lemonade stand, people in this neighborhood are overly generous and the boys made $45.00!!!  And that was only for four driveways!  

Santa’s elves shopping at Target for the Twelve Days of Christmas

Got this funny one of Libby the other day.  That is actually a baby towel on her head.  She calls it her princess crown cape.

Liberty changes her clothes about fifty times a day right now and her room is always a mess because of it.  She is also always wearing my high heels around the house.  Now I understand why they sell those silly dress up high heels for little girls.  I’m thinking Santa should bring her a pair for Christmas so that she doesn’t kill herself trying to go down the stairs in mine.  Speaking of which, I found mine hanging precariously over the edge of the stairs yesterday.

Here are some funnies Liberty has said lately. 

The other day I came in to get her up and she said, “Mom, I woke up because the sun was on.”

Last week the kids were playing downstairs and Libby walked upstairs yelling, “Gody bard!  Gody bard!”  It took me a minute to realize she was trying  to say Bodyguard. 

The boys finally got to meet Byam’s new dog last week when Katelyn and Taylor brought him over.  After watching the three boys and the puppy for an hour I was amused, but not surprised to discover that little boys and puppies are VERY similar. 

We’ve been enjoying our Christmas tradition of unwrapping a Christmas book every night.

Even Derek got to participate this year (after we twisted his arm a bit)!
He went home raving about the tradition and can’t WAIT to do it with his family!  😉
