Things to Love

Well, another week is well under way around our house.  This week I've decided that online shopping rules, especially with three kids!  We also have officially decorated for Christmas.  There are still a few things to put up here and there, but we're mostly done.  Mabel is getting so excited for Christmas this year, which in turn gets Sam excited too, which equals a ton of fun for me!  We decorated the tree tonight and here's what it looks like.


And here's the mantle.

Tonight we had the missionaries over for dinner.  I made some brownies for dessert.  It was hillarious to have the kids help me make the frosting.  All three of them were hovered around the bowl, just waiting to stick their finger in the bowl for a lick (for Max, it's more like a fist full).  After we made the brownies, I covered them and put them aside.  I was in the bathroom helping Sam go potty for the 100th time today and when I came back to the kitchen, Max had pulled a chair over and stuck his thumb right into the brownies (through plastic and all).

On a more sad note, Mabel, Sam, Max, and Nick are all sick.  It started with Mabel, then Sam, then Max, and finally Nick.  I guess we all know who's next in line:(  So the humidifier and tissues are going at full strength and cuddles and oneries are plenty.
