Because

I obviously haven't been blogging lately, here is what I have been up to with the kids.

We had an impromptu joint birthday party for Chloe and Bryleigh at my parents' (Bryleigh is my brother's daughter). Chloe loved the huge sprinkles on her cake :)

Bryleigh turned 3 one week after Chloe turned 2.

Bryleigh had another party the next day at Play All Day. The big kids had a blast on the huge inflatables.

Chloe will climb on anything and everything at home, but if you take her to a place where this behaviour is encouraged she wants nothing to do with it. 

Bode stayed at home with Ryan - it was really cold! He is doing well ... and sleeping through the night!

Speaking of our little superstar, he starred in what was sure to be his breakthrough role as baby Jesus in our church's live nativity. It was sweet and adorable and my camera broke. Soooo, you'll have to use your imagination to conjure up the sweet adorableness. 

But while we are on the topic: Ryan Santa, bring me a camera for Christmas!!!

The girls love to help me in the kitchen. Ali and I made some cookies while Chloe was sleeping (perfect time to do it as Chloe just loves to "stir"). 

Ryan's Grandpa Joe turned 80 on Sunday, so he took the big kids (Caden and Ali) to the Frank house for a visit. Cheers to Grandpa Joe!

It'll be another busy week for our little big family with Christmas around the corner!
