1st Week of December

Here we are in December already!  Nyles is REALLY excited for Christmas coming up, to say the least.  Luckily we got snow on Saturday, December 1st.  The boys were really excited to play in it.  Steve also finished up his classes and finals this week!  It's great to get one semester behind us.  Only 5 more to go!

Elf on the shelf has returned!  Steve clearing a path on the back patio.

The boys thought it was fun to get under the snow path.

Nyles loves to help shovel.  He's really a big helper!  

Carter is getting better at walking in the snow this year as well.

Catching snow flakes.

The boys insisted on making a snowman, or "nose" as Carter calls it.

Yeah for snow finally!

 

Snow angel.

Cute boys at church! 

Singing happy birthday to December birthdays at our family dinner (Lynsie, Kim and London).

Carter thought it was fun to feed Grandpa cake.

Cute Carter fell asleep on the way home (Nyles too).

"Buddy the Elf" just hanging out keeping an eye on everyone.

More lookout spots for Buddy.

Nyles was dying to go sledding, so Steve took the boys after Nyles got out of school.

 

Steve took the boys to Cabela's one day and met Santa too.  We took them after work on Friday as well to meet Santa again and do a free craft.  Carter and Nyles w/ Santa.

Nyles coloring an elf for the craft.

Carter looking at the polar bear and other animals.

We had the kids hold up pictures of Christ during our last song "He Sent His Son."

Carter was getting tired towards the end of the program.

Tricky elf.
