Dinner

• We went out to eat tonight with all the adults in the family.
• Our niece Kailey watched all 4 boys. Our nephew Ethan helped.
• It was a pretty fun time.

Hot Shops

• Grandpa Spiehs, Mica and I went to the Hot Shops for their winter art show today. Isaak stayed with Grandma Spiehs.
• Mica saw a man that looked like Santa. He looked up at him, his eyes got wide and the man had a chuckle. Mica said, "Did you see that Mommy? That man looked like Santa Claus"! It was pretty cute.
• Mica also spotted a red necklace. He pointed and said, "Grandpa I like that red necklace...it's red like your name is Red". Grandpa Spiehs goes by "Red".

Babysitter

• We had our niece Kailey watch the boys last night. I guess they were really good!
• We had Travis' work Christmas party. It was early because one of his co-workers is due to have a baby early January.
• Mica woke up this morning and said, "Hey where did that babysitter go?"
• I said, "You mean your cousin, Kailey? She does have a name you know".

Christmas Postcard

• I have a delima, Grandma and Grandpa Spiehs like the one with Isaak right side up. My work people loved the one with Isaak upside down.
• I'm kind of torn. My initial idea was to write on the back about how Mica asks too many questions and says big words that he can't understand. Isaak loves to go upside down and to throw balls. The upside down thing ties into the picture of him upside down. But...Isaak is much more cute in the one with him right side up. The upside down one is more creative, out of the box.
• I don't know which one to pick. Any thoughts on this?

$50 Gift Hero Giveaway

• Go Graham Go is giving away a $50 gift certificate to Gift Hero.
• They have really fun toys!
• I love how you can shop easily by sex and age.

First Draft

• This is the first draft of our Christmas postcards. I have to think of what to say on the back.

Blow

• Isaak's the king of being a copycat. Here he is blowing to cool his food down. Notice how his mouth is no where near his food.
• He's copying me.

Hobbytown USA

• Daddy took the boys to Hobbytown USA today after he picked Mica up at preschool. He warned Mica that they were just going in to look and not buy.
• I got home from work, and Mica kept on talking about how he wanted me to go to the Town store to show me the trains. When we told Mica, "No" that we would not go, he told me that we would go there by creating a magic trick. I guess they have a really cool train set up. Of course needy boy needs that train set on his Christmas list.
• Daddy said going to Hobbytown USA was better then going to any other toy store.

Curious George!

• Jolly Mom is giving away a Curious George prize pack consisting of Curious George A Very Monkey Christmas DVD, Curious George Christmas Countdown book, CD soundtrack and a Curious George Live ticket voucher!
• This was one of the first show's Mica got into. Our nephew Elijah LOVES Curious George!
• Enter Jolly Mom to win!

Shankman and O'Neill Book Giveaway

• I'd love to win one of the Shankman and O'Neill books given away by Go Graham Go!
• There are three books given away, and three winners will win one of their books.
• I'm partial to I Met a Moose in Main One Day because I call Mica, "Mica Moose".
