So, I want people to be able to easily email us if they don't want to leave a comment BUT I don't want my email posted because I will get SPAM!!!!
So I created the previous post so that I could link to it on the right. Eventually you won't see it anymore but it will still be useful.

Happy Holidays!
I have allot to catch up on! December has been so busy but fun! They're calling for snow this weekend and I have yet to see a flake which is great because we have WAY too much to do tomorrow!
We took the boys to something near our house called the Santa train. It was super overpriced and the train itself was not the size adults ride (though we did anyway) AND some of the light displays kind of had a Halloween spookiness to them - BUT we still had a great time. The boys were kind of overwhelmed but liked it. There was one gigantic star up high in the center and the boys constantly pointed it out. Unfortunately I have no pictures because I literally could not move.
Jared had a Saturday where he worked due to the Mac version being released so we met him for lunch and there was a new train "museum" across from his office so we took the boys. They LOVED it OF COURSE. I didn't have my camera though :(
Last night we went to something called "Walk through Bethlehem" that was all outdoors. It was ok, but the boys didn't know what to think. I think they had a good time but they were so confused about why everyone was dressed up. There were some sheep to see but they were under a tarp in the dark night and their breath was visible and it was terrifying to Jade - I think it was just the setup though because across the way they had large goats but they were all lit up and Jaden loved being right next to them.
I can't believe Christmas is almost here and I can't believe the boys are almost TWO!
Here are two videos - one of Jaden helping dad check the lights and one of Jackson playing with his laughing gingerbread man (that he plays constantly all day)

Christmas Decorating
The boys were sick this weekend and it was raining so we decided to just go the Haggen (groceries) to get a Christmas tree. The boys love it there because of the car carts and cookies and we thought it would be better than taking them to cut one this year.
They LOVE helping to decorate! They get so excited about the tree all the time and can't stop talking about the star on top. Someone gave theme each a football ornament and Jaden points them out 1000 times a day. They're pretty good about not touching it too often.
Funny things...
Jaden helped Jared check the lights and was very careful but still kept stepping on the strands.
We cut off the top of the tree, one of the boys found it on the ground and put it "back" in the tree as if it was a branch.
Jaden will point and say 00000000000 piddy!
Jackson will say KINKLE! (as in the star is twinkling)
There is a laughing reindeer (or something) that shakes and laughs when you squeeze it's hand. They were terrified at first that it was shaking and would scream and run away. Now Jackson MUST find it first thing in the morning, carry it around, give it hugs, make everyone else give it hugs, and squeeze it's hand CONSTANTLY (seriously, one right after the other)
All in all they are way more excited about it all then I thought they would be.

Thanksgiving
For Thanksgiving we went to Jared's parents and had a nice time. The boys weren't really into the dinner this year but I think they were having too much fun playing! Here are some pictures....
