Our latest adventures

While I have no photographic evidence of it, we enjoyed a very relaxing Christmas at home with Alex's mom and grandma and my mom and step-dad. Spending Christmas at our own house was wonderful! We got the boys a play kitchen set for Christmas and it is set up in the kitchen so they can "cook" while mommy does. I'm very pleased that it has been a hit with both boys. Brady definitely enjoys playing chef and is always treating us to his special creations. My favorite treat has been his "happy juice" mixed with "yummy juice". (I get where the yummy juice could have come from, but the happy juice cracks me up!)


Kellen's latest favorite activity is to climb into the bottom drawer of the built-in desk in the kitchen and hang out. He came up with this idea all on his own. He thinks it's funny to stand up when I am telling him to sit. He'll crouch down like he's going to sit, then stand right back up. This is a game he likes to play in all sorts of places. Luckily, the bathtub isn't one of them. :)


We had a New Year's Eve party at our house. It was super fun and the boys slept through everything!! Double sweet action! We played Rock Band, Alex's new arcade hoops game and generally just hung out and had fun. I still can't believe Brady went to bed without any problems and stayed there. And went to sleep. And stayed that way. It was awesome.


We also went to Zoolights (the zoo with a bunch of Christmas light displays) with our missional community. Our missional community is a small group of people from our church that generally live in the same neighborhood and try to live life together and be the church in our communities (as opposed to the idea of church being something you go to on Sundays). We had a lot of fun and Brady asks about going to zoolights each time we are out after dark.
