Christmas Program

Here is a little clip from "This Little Light of Mine" at our church Christmas Program. Caleb and Malachi joined in with the Sunday School kids, but instead of carrying a candle, they each carried a flashlight! The video isn't that great, but it was a very fun first Christmas Program!

Random Pics

Here are a few random pictures before I start posting our Christmas ones.

Happy Birthday Caleb!

We had a very fun birthday party for Caleb yesterday afternoon. Caleb is completely enamored with Elmo right now, so we had to go with Elmo for our theme. We had a light lunch with all the proud grandparents, aunties, and great-grandparents.

We found this Elmo hat at the party store where we got all the other supplies - we couldn't pass it up and he looked so cute in it!

Caleb wasn't as good at opening gifts this year as I thought he might be! He got so caught up in how cool each gift was that he didn't want to move on to open any more! It was very cute! He got so many nice gifts and many new favorite toys!

He LOVED getting a guitar of his very own! Now he grabs it when Daddy gets his guitar out!

Checking Daddy's heartbeat.

He's a one-man show!

I found this fun pattern for Elmo cupcakes online.

"Happy Birthday to you!"

He did a great job blowing out his candles!

We love you!

Yummy marshmallows!

Proud Grandmas!

Messy and tired!

Auntie Marilyn

Auntie April, my hands are too messy!

So tired at the end of the party! He held out well several hours after he usually naps!

Trumpet Player

Caleb is showing great potential for playing the trumpet!

Singing

Caleb loves to sing, and lately he has started to really sound like he's getting the words to some of the familiar songs. So enjoy "Jesus Loves Me"!

Naptime?

We've been taking more videos than pictures lately, experimenting with our new video camera, but here are a couple of cute ones of Caleb getting tired before his nap today. He fights it pretty hard, especially when football is on!

Thanksgiving

Yes, I'm very behind again! Life has been pretty busy around here, and I've been sleeping every chance I get to try to fight off all the colds that Caleb likes to spread by coughing in my face! It's definitely harder to stay healthy when I'm pregnant! It seems that every time I feel our whole family is finally feeling pretty healthy, Caleb comes down with another bad cold and it starts all over. He is currently finishing up his antibiotic for an ear infection. We're hoping this is not the beginning of more ear infections this winter. He will be re-checked this week to see if his tubes are still in place and effective.

Thanksgiving Day we spent in Sandstone with Joel's family. It was a relaxing and fun day with the family.

Caleb even warmed up to JT!

We didn't do too well taking pictures that day, but here are a couple cute ones of Caleb's favorite "Nanny".
