Merry Christmas

Wishing you a very "monkey" Christmas!

Tonight while putting the kids to bed, Dave told them a story about when he was a little boy. He told them how each Christmas they’d make cookies and pile them on a little plate for Santa and when they'd wake up in the morning Santa had eaten every single cookie. After hearing that Hyrum immediately said, “Wow, he’s not very healthy.” Hyrum then suggested that we give Santa some milk with his cookies because "milk is healthy." Dave says I'm corrupting them, but at least I know they're learning from all the times I've told them they have to have something healthy before they can have a treat. Maybe this year we'll leave Santa some broccoli and carrots instead. :)

First Snow

We woke up this morning to our first snow this year in Albuquerque. The boys were so excited. Once it warmed up a bit we went out and enjoyed what little snow there was. We even managed to make a tiny snowman. By afternoon the snow had all melted. Now the boys are anxiously awaiting the next snowfall.

Happy Wintertime!
