our december happenings

i took a picture of bonnie in the bath to remember how much more hair she has at 9 months than the boys had.  its just a bit easier to see when its wet.

i came out from getting ready one morning and isaac had cleaned out the dishwasher for me and put all the dishes he couldn't put away onto the counter.  such a big help! 

bonnie is getting better and better and pulling up. 

and she loves getting into the hats and dressups 

especially now that she has one of her very own that grandma berta found for her.

isaac kept trying to give bonnie a cape. i finally tucked it into her shirt and she wore it for hours, crawling all over the house.

we were all dressed up (cody was at preschool), so we took a picture.  we were probably playing 'anna and elsa' since its pretty much isaac's favorite things to play lately.  

cody and isaac sure love their bonnie.  she just sat and snuggled with them on the couch happy as can be. 

i even got them to sing me a song :)

one of my favorite things is piling into our bed and reading stories in the morning when we're all home and have nothing going on.  doesn't happen much lately.

we made jam for 'j' day at preschool.  it was a hit!

i got super sick for a couple of days (ryan even came home from work one of the days to take care of everyone).  as i was on the mend, but still just wanting to sit around, the boys took great care of me.  mac and cheese with two juice boxes, orange juice, and apple juice with no ice.  no way i'll get dehydrated with these guys around.

cody figured out a way to make a sled and dressed up as santa.  he couldn't quite convince isaac to wear the reindeer antlers and get in front though.

isaac and olivia's nest at the park.  (don't touch it or you'll face their wrath)

cody made a snowman family out of the gingerbread playdough.  you can see bonnie lying down on the right (since she can't stand - per cody).  and cody explained that ryan had to be short and fat (not tall and thin) or he'd fall over.  good logic.  he's getting to be so much more creative all the time.

he then made a whole bunch of snowmen that were in a circle holding hands.  i could almost hear them singing 'fahoo fores, dahoo dores, welcome christmas come what may...'

for primary, he drew a picture (that he asked us to put on the tree).  he drew christ on the cross with the crown of thorns and everything.
