Prairie Lights

At the lake near us they do an exhibit every year at Christmastime. It's two miles of Christmas lights, and an area with a tent full of the inflatable Christmas decorations. We drove through and the boys loved it! Santa was in the tent and for the first time in three years we had a fairly decent experience with the man in red. Blake told him that he wanted Thomas, Thomas, and more Thomas. Cody refused to speak to him, but at least we got a decent family picture!!

Holiday in the Park

Last night we went to Holiday in the Park at Six Flags. I had never been before and it was really neat. It was cold (in the low 40s), but we had lots of fun. The boys rode 4 or 5 things, and Shawn and I rode one roller coaster. (We went with the boys' babysitter and her family). There was a big parade at the end, but the boys were passed out for that. Oh well. The videos are of the boys and Emily (Shawn's daughter--she's 2 weeks older than Cody and Blake) on the teacups, and then Tadd and Cody going down the snow hill! They are the second sled you see go down.

Let it snow!!

This past Thursday we had a very very cold front come in and we got some snow!! I know it isn't much, but it was a lot for us!! The boys loved it, especially Cody. Blake kept wanting to go back inside where it was warm (smart boy). We're going to Holiday in the Park tonight at Six Flags so I'll have pics of that soon!
Here's a video of Cody having a "snowball" fight with Hannah (Shawn, our daycare provider's, daughter). It's really pixelated, but you can kinda see how hard it's coming down! Click
