pictures!

Christmas is coming! We've had a cold snap (ha ha! laugh with me here!) recently. The boys threw our pumpkins in the dumpster and we pulled out our bins of Christmas decorations.



Santa properly introduced himself to Havilah by dancing while singing a goofy song about all his many names: Father Christmas, Kris Kringle, Santa Claus, and whatever else came to my, er, his mind.

Lights! John's room has a few strings of colored lights, which he's enjoying.

John's Playmobil nativity set--complete with camel, lambs, wise men in turbans, and the largest shooting star in recorded history.

John really loves motorcycles...but for now, he'll settle for his Radio Flyer quadcycle.

Banana muffins on a cozy November evening:

Like mother, like daughter...? What do you think, does Havilah look like my baby photo from when I was approximately her age?

Family picture day was Friday. These aren't even the best shots (those we are saving for Christmas photos/presents). As you can tell, the kids were more interested being photographed with their dad than with their mom. Oh well.
