It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas....


The boys and I have had a great time getting ready for Christmas this year! We have decorations everywhere! Brock even helped me make cookies one day - even dressed the part too (check out his apron)! :)

We've had fun at some functions around town too! Last Saturday while Brent was off shooting geese, Brock, Kade and I ventured to Springfree Trampoline in Issaquah. This showroom for very expensive trampolines was hosting free gingerbread house making!
They get your info when you walk in the door to be on their mailing list, but then everything is free. Brock tried out several trampolines - he liked the one that had the basketball net attached the best (in case you're looking for a way to spend $1,550).

He really is quite crafty! I spread the frosting on the house (which were pre-made by the way - all different house styles set up for each child to choose), but Brock really enjoyed picking which candy to put where. He really liked the gummi bears. :)

 On Wednesday, we met Brent in Bellevue for dinner. Look at baby Kade sitting in the high chair at Maggiano's!
Can't fool Brock - he knows that right above the restaurant is the "games place" - we had to stop there for a few rounds of baseball and skeeball! Check out the video below for Brock's power arm!

We reconvened at the Bellevue Botanical Gardens for the Garden d'Lights. It was nice - cold, but not rainy (which is why we went that night). I think they did a better job last year - more butterflies and types of flowers.... this year just didn't wow me. Brock enjoyed it and loved that he was able to run along the path and pointed out every single display.

 Kade was bundled up in his jacket Grandma bought in Ireland, football hat from Aunt Katherin, also in a blanket wrapped in the Ergo carrier and with my jacket covering his legs around me - trust me, he was cozy (and also napped through all of it).

Look - a family shot!
 My sweet little Kade was happy to be home and out of his gazillion layers of clothes! (We all were!)
