Our Nutcracker Craft

The Nutcracker

I think she was as excited about being able to use hairspray as she was about the performance;)  .

"Our very own gingerbread baby"

After a fun day baking with her Aunt Franci, Sara-Cooper decided we needed a gingerbread baby of our own.  She was *in charge* ....

from start

to finish.

Father and Son Road Trip

First, they toured Busch stadium.

Then there was sight seeing.

(Creighton took this cool picture of the arch .)

Saving the best for last, they finished their trip with a Ram's game.

They had a great time. I think Creighton smiled for a solid week after the trip!

I'm Nervous

How am I ever going to get a Christmas card picture from this group?  Even Eloise has turned against me!

One happy little boy!

We had Oliver's "Buzz" party last weekend.

He was so excited about his cake.

We were so happy to have Mama Sara and Papa at the party!

Oliver LOVED all of his horse presents!!   He spent the rest of the day playing with them.

Oliver and Woody needed  a *rest* after such a fun day!

Three

We celebrated Oliver's birthday with a little family party last night.  We had a cookie cake and a couple of  "buzz presents".  It was simple and sweet. Sara-Cooper and Creighton put forth a lot of effort to make it special for Oliver. ( Eloise missed the party. We party late into the night around here, and she was a sleep:))

Daddy picked out the perfect presents!

Cooper found Oliver in the bathroom looking at himself in the mirror.

He kept disappearing all night, and we would find him here.

So Cute!!

Creighton and Sara-Cooper decided to make their costumes.  Creighton is gluing on spots to Woody's vest.

( Before I went to bed, I realized for a brief moment-I had a one year old and a two year old!)
