Finally! Pics of Cole's Room

I forgot that I haven't posted this pictures of Cole's Room yet. Even though he's been occupying this room now for more than 2 months, I thought I'd share the pics with you.

Thank you for the homemade blankie, Ms. Chelle!

2009 Cookie Decorating

We got together with Mom and Dad Binder to do our annual cut-out cookie decorating. It was so much fun.


Cole taking a snooze. This cookie decorating is exhausting.


Dale and Dad hard at work.

Caiden loves this!

Some of the completed cookies!

Christmas Program at Mom's Day Out

The kids at the mom's day out program that Dawson attends performed a Christmas play and hosted a luncheon. Dawson was an angel in the play. They sang songs and told the Christmas story.


Here's Dawson doing some crafts while Dale and I pose for a picture.

Our Lil' Angel.

Our "angel" in action!

Rollin', Rollin', Rollin'

Our friend Mara had a birthday party at our local roller skating rink a few weeks ago. I hadn't been on skates in quite some time and my boys have never skated before. Caiden enjoyed it much more than Dawson but they both did pretty good. It was great exercise for me. I'd forgotten how much it is!

Some alone time!

Caiden wanted to make these reindeer cookies that he found in his National Geographic Kids magazine. He was so excited! That afternoon on the way home from school I told him that we were going to make the cookies that night. He turned to Dawson and said, "Dawson you and Daddy are going to have to find something to do tonight because mamma and I need some alone time." I guess I have to bake cookies to arrange "alone time" with my precious first-born!

He also recently announced that he isn't too sure that he is going to be a doctor but instead wants to be a chef.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Firsts!
