Bella was so excited to open the wardrobe Grandpa made for all her American Girl clothes. She knew exactly what to do with it and started filling it up with shoes, clothes, etc... What a special gift!

My Cookie Helper!

Coyle and I have begun our holiday baking. We started yesterday with sugar cookies. Coyle was such a good helper and did an amazing job decorating! In the picture below, you can see his cookies he decorated. There are airplanes, cars, a car pulling a tanker trailer, a bell and some trees. We had so much fun! Today we've made cowboy cookies, and he's been a super help again. Bella is much more interested in tasting and helping bake :-)

Preschool Pics

Santa Meeting

Last weekend we visited my mom in Vandalia and went to the local John Deere implement store to meet Santa. Coyle was so brave and got up on Santa's Gator to get his picture taken. He thought it was so cool that he got a tiny tractor in his bag of candy. Bella was very interested in Santa, waved to him, said "hi" and "ho ho ho" but wanted no part of sitting next to him, even with Coyle.

Ready to Go!
