Who's who?

Christmas Day

Today, we let the kids finish opening presents we got for them, without the audience of aunts and uncles.  My parents were still here and enjoyed it too.  Morgen is totally into dressing up, dolls and doll houses. Carsten is into race cars!!  Bekah gave him race car yesterday.  We gave him a couple of small cars and then some blocks to build with.  After Eric built the first tower and he demolished it, he said, "More daddy, do it again!"  

Why not end the morning playing with Ethan's new toys in the bathtub!

Christmas Eve!

Yesterday, Christmas Eve, was spent with the Flaming's.  My mom and I started out the day preparing the food until everyone arrived at 10 a.m.  My dad read Luke 2 and Eric lead the family in reading the "Adore"naments.  We as a family started them a few weeks ago and the kids really enjoyed learning the names of Jesus and then hanging them on the tree.  We then opened gifts and ate a delicious dinner!  Yum!  The ornaments on the table were made by Morgen, Carsten, Eric and I.  They were gifts for the family to take after dinner.

Busy, Busy

Today we had snack as a Tea Party with friends.  Then we beaded.  Later, the neighbor girls came over and we beaded some more.   How fun!

Race cars...

Yesterday, I was driving Morgen to school and I happened to accelerate around some cars on the highway.  Carsten then said, "Do it again, mummy"  He said it several more times throughout the drive.  Carsten is in race car mode after playing with race cars at Grandpa Flaming's house over Thanksgiving.  Even Aunt Anna drives a "race car"!

Daddy and daughter date

Eric took Morgen out on a date Sat.  They went and got their chocolate ice cream at Dairy Queen.  They both love chocolate!

Doin' the dishes...
