This Week

Aaron beat a chess challenge and earned a few pennies

Aaron made scrambled eggs all by himself

Baby knex

Boys helped make candy topped cookies

Aaron can actually roll uniform balls and place them on cookie sheets evenly this year!

We got a Christmas tree!

The boys love it

Aaron started wearing scarves

Baby loves watching videos on his tablet

Went shopping and they gave baby a balloon

We found the one hidden store in town that had Christmas trees.
This is their entire stock minus the one we got and one more.

We also found a new fast food restaurant.

It even sort of has a play place.

Can eat chicken nuggets in town again :)

Happy Birthday Grandma Sharla!

Aaron made you a piano game for your birthday. Find these notes...

....on this piano

Andrew drew you a very happy Christmas tree. Note the smile

Alexander drew just a little bit.
But he was singing to you over and over while he was coloring.
He sends you hugs and kisses.

Love, Alexander

By Andrew

Happy Birthday! We all love you so much!

Love,
Nate, Anna, Aaron, Andrew, and Alexander
