Merry Christmas

The three of us went to our church’s Christmas Eve service last night. My two boys wore plaid and were both so very handsome! There was also a live nativity in the foyer and Ben was obsessed with the donkey. He pet it a few times and got the biggest grin, the little boy loves animals.

















Also, these are the outtakes from Ben’s Christmas card photos, hope you enjoy! And no commenting on our fake tree. Or lack of ornaments :)

















Dinner and a Show

While Andy was making dinner for us on Christmas Eve Eve, Ben decided to put on a show. Complete with dramatic finish! He only started walking a week ago but is SO good at it!

***UPDATED AGAIN*** I saw Ben walk! He walked all the way across the kitchen in the Frankenstein type waddle, too cute :)

We got “pity meat” from the friend Andy hunts with. So now there’s ground, a few roasts and steaks in the freezer. Yay!

*****************************

***UPDATED*** Andy went hunting this morning and saw some deer but nothing would have been a good shot. So we remain bambi-less this year.

And I also feel like I need to share Ben’s new word. When he was a newborn we swaddled him and started calling him “sausage” because he looked like a little stuffed sausage. Well, the nickname stuck and unfortunately it’s his new word. He goes around saying “saw-seg, saw-seg, saw-seg” :)

Ben walked on his own this week! I haven’t seen it yet, he did it for Andy one night while I was getting a hair cut. And then he did it again while I was downstairs doing laundry. And again for Andy when I was down working in the office…you get the picture ;-) Still waiting to see it!

I really want an iphone but can’t justify the cost of the data plan. I don’t really “go” anywhere so I don’t really need the phone, I’m usually always near my computer. Still, major cool factor!

I made yogurt in the crockpot this week! Ben eats it like crazy and it’s an expensive $3.50/carton for the whole milk stuff, so I found a recipe online. It turned out alright, a little runny. It was also a little tart, but mixed with fruit, Ben didn’t seem to mind. I used this recipe. I might try it again with a different recipe.

Hunting season is almost done for this year. Andy’s going out one last time tomorrow for late bow, hope he gets something. Poor guy hasn’t had a ton of luck!

Ben plays so well by himself while I’m making dinner!

It’s been in the 40s here the past couple days and we’ve taken advantage of it by going for lots of walks! I did have to safety pin Ben’s gloves to his coat though. Now he can’t throw them on … Continue reading
