December has been very busy so far. Here are a few pictures from the past couple of weeks. Jaden's been sick. I was just telling Anne that he's never fallen asleep anywhere funny before, and then this week he does it twice! He's been singing jingle bells constantly. Baylee chimes in with the last word from each verse... "Bells!" "Way!" "Hey!", spinning in circles and doing her little Baylee dance, so cute. We have had a lot to do to get ready for Christmas. The kids are very excited. They love all of the decorations, especially the tree. I can't keep them away from it. We are having so much fun!
We went to Ama and Ampa's last night and made a gingerbread house! Ashley came too, but unfortunately Steven had to work. The kids had a great time. Of course, Baylee just ate all of the candy. Jaden ate his fair share as well, but understood the concept a little more and did use some of it for decorating. If it wasn't for Ashley, it would have been a very pitiful little house! She did most of the work. I did contribute a cute little door and window after mom complained that it looked nothing like the picture on the box. (yes, it was a kit) In the end, it turned out pretty cute and we had a fun night hanging out together.
We had a wonderful Christmas! The kids had so much fun... almost as much as mom and dad! Jaden got a bike, and Baylee a tricycle. Aubrey got a little playgym, but at this age, it's mostly a gift for mom! Every year gets more and more fun. 
We got to tell the kids the story of Jesus' birth and hear them re-tell it in their funny little way. We got to hear them say happy birthday to Jesus. We got to spend time with our families, and even have one of our famous theology debates with uncle Jerry. It was a wonderful Christmas. We are truly blessed!
