Bish Fish, Box Fun, Computer Baby, Horse Back Riding, and Cousins!!

Here are some random December pictures that I wanted to share. Life has been really busy this month with my trip to Georgia, Christmas, and family coming into town. We've had a lot of fun, and hope that the new year will bring more fun and family/friend interactions.
Here's a picture of my nieces that have a wonderful time playing together. They are all so great to play with Logan and tote him around the house. He loves each of them, and really enjoys the individual attention they all give him.
Dustin has the idea to play horsey with my dad's saddle. Unfortunately Logan wouldn't participate, so I only got pictures of Joseph and Rebecca riding.
Logan loves to play on my computer, so this is how I catch him daily. He's even fallen off the chair a few times, so now I have to turn the chair upside down to prevent serious injury.
I was baking one day and Logan was playing this box for like a hour. He would put his balls in and then he'd crawl in with them and then throw them all out. He did this over and over again. He was in such a great mood.
Here's another picture of Dustin's big catch. Yes this is a different fish. As you can see Dustin spends most of his down time fishing at the pond with my dad.

Anyways I'll try to get Christmas stuff done next, but hopefully this brings you out of the dark to what we've been doing this month.

My Present

Well since my last post the reindeer have deflated and one even popped, the angel is missing from the tree and cleverly replaced with a Dallas Cowboy helmet, and Logan and I took a fun trip to Georgia. My sweet, selfless husband bought me a plane ticket for Christmas to go see Claire. Aside from the over charge for luggage at the airport, the 3 mile walk to the terminal, and the lady who threw up all over herself one the airplane, it was the best trip ever. It had been 2 years since I saw her last, and we had fun just like it was yesterday. Here are a few pictures from the trip. We stayed up every night talking, and spent all day just hanging out. We made Christmas candy, attempted to work out (Logan wouldn't cooperate), and watched a few movies. I have to tell a little Ella story. I asked her to play with Logan at the gym so I could work out, to which she replied, "OK, I will be his mommy for awhile". Too cute! Anyways, Jason was such a trooper, and never complained that he didn't get enough time with Claire. Logan was in heaven with all the kids, and even participated in 1 hour of nursery for the first time. Claire and her sister have 2 kids and of the 4 kids 3 are boys. He just followed them around everywhere. Anyways I just have to give kudos to my wonderful husband Dustin for giving me the best present ever. It seems every year that he just gives the best thoughtful presents ever, and he has no idea how much this present meant to me. I think we took like 20 pictures before we got 1 that we both approved of! Do you think we look like sisters?? Every time we go somewhere everyone ask if we are!

Logan and Lincoln had a wonderful time in the bath, but Ella just hung out in the corner because Logan likes to splash. She didn't think it was a fun bath at all!!

We took the kids for a walk at Claire's parents' house and they had a blast playing in the leaves. I didn't get a very cute one of all the kids, but I thought this picture of Ella was just too cute. She had this permi-grin on her face the whole time.

Logan wouldn't sit in the leaves, but he sure had fun throwing them around and running through them like a sprinkler.

What a trooper!!! We had family home evening with the Allreds, and Jason let Claire decorate his face after they did the gingerbread house. Then she licked it off!! I didn't post that picture because it was X rated....LOL

Anyways so this is what's been going on, and now I'm off to work on my new furniture project!! Merry Christmas, because I'm confident this will be my last post until then!
