Christmas Treats

We've got this thing down to an assembly line! White chocolate covered pretzel sticks rolled in crushed candy canes. We are making neighbor treats since our neighbors are already out knocking on doors!

Benson has a thing for white chocolate.

This girl is a great helper and still insists on wearing her kitty apron whenever we are making treats.

Sleeping!

This boy still takes a 2 hour nap every afternoon and still complains when I wake him up at 4pm! Silly boy says "sleeping!" when I try to get him up!

Visiting Santa

 Even though Santa's eyes are closed, the first picture I took turned out to be the Christmas card! Our kids are pretty dang cute.

 Ellie was a little shy and didn't want to talk to Santa, even though she ran to see him when we got there.

 Benson told Santa he wanted a monster truck.

Ellie still talks about Santa's one elf that gave her a candy cane. Herberger's definitely beat out the Festival of Trees! We will have to remember that for next year.

These two had their yearly checkups and shots yesterday. Benson only had to get a flu shot but Ellie had three separate pokes and acted like it was no big deal. Didn't shed a tear!
