Our Tree

Here is the tree this year. Its already been so much fun keeping Kai out of it! He and Koen have fights about whether or not the lights should stay plugged in.

Talking with Santa

While at my mom's for Thanksgiving Koen got to see Santa. The day after Christmas Santa turns the lights on in the park, and talks to all the kids who line up to request presents. Koen has never talked to Santa in the past, he cries, but not this year. He was so excited he could hardly hold still in line. He wanted to tell Santa to get him Diesel 10 (a train car) for Christmas. When it was his turn he ran up there all by himself! He was so proud and excited when he was done. I was afraid he'd cry again, but he must be getting a little more confident as time goes on.

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving with my family this year. We had a grand time watching my mom draw a picture on top of her head while playing Partiny. There was also lots of good food to eat. Koen and Kai sure enjoyed the attention they got since they were 2 of the 3 kids there. I keep telling my sister to have a cousin for my kids, but she won't listen! Oh well, more attention for them at family get togethers.

Someone Turned 4!

Koen had a birthday on the 21st of November. He turned 4! I can't believe how old and big he is getting. It seems like yesterday we were rushing to the hospital to have him. He was so excited for his birthday this year. It was the first year he really understood what was going on. He had a Thomas cake of course, and the toy Thomas on the cake was his favorite present of all! He played with that thing more than anything else he got that day. He got so many presents from everyone! THANKS! His birthday turned out so well, and so many came to celebrate with us.

Kai was laughing a lot this morning and so I decided to get it on video. It was so cute and funny!

Funny Koen

The other night Kai decided to distribute the grocery bags I keep in the kitchen all over the entire kitchen. When Koen got a little crazy, I asked him to go pick them up for something to do. There is the bag I keep them in and he was like "but mom I can't do it!" About 5 minutes later I see him hanging bags on every nob he could find in there. He was so excited that he got the bags picked up even if he didn't put them in the bag they belonged in. It was cute so I took pictures of his ingenious idea!
