Counting Down to Christmas

Making a gingerbread house. He LOVED this! He worked on it for at least an hour, maybe longer!

We went to Chuck E Cheeses with some friends but that didn't turn into Jonathan's idea of fun. The big mouse came out and the fun was over. He was so scared he wouldn't play any games. I snapped this picture before the big scare came. However he has pretended to be Chuck E Cheese for over a week. So it has provided some entertainment after all. =)

We went to Bass Pro Shop and there lots of fun games and the kids got to make a cookie.
Katelyn (our cookie monster) loved this activity.

Playing with marshmallows and toothpicks (of course some snuck into his mouth too).

New gloves

(above) A special breakfast treat, Fruit Loops, but also good for playing with.

How many days until Christmas play a little game and see.
Remember Christmas is Jesus' birthday.
He came for you and me!
These words were on our Christmas chart every year growing up. We counted down to Christmas this year with some special activities. Most of them were geared toward Jonny but Kate had some fun too.

Three Months Old

Still a good little sleeper. I am not sure how she sleeps through all the racket at this house but she does.

So strong

She loves to play with her ears!

She still loves her thumb.

Big smiles

Where has the time gone? Here are some pictures of Ellie at three months. She is still a very happy baby. She sleeps through the night (between 10-12 hours). She is smiling, laughing, and cooing. Her brother and sister still love her lots. Sometimes I wonder how this girl survives all her hugs and kisses (and being stepped on, sat on, and who knows what else).
We love you Eleanor!!!
