The Daintys

We had our annual Christmas tree outing last weekend; we go to a nearby Christmas tree farm where you can cut down your own tree.  Wyatt fell asleep in the car, so Grandma R. stayed with him while we set off to find the perfect tree with Leah.  Leah was very determined to find the right tree, and every five seconds she was shouting, "GUYS!  Follow me - I FOUND IT!  I found the perfect tree!"  If you have a minute to watch the video, you can see some of her perfect trees - hah!  We played some hide and seek in the trees and just walked around for a while.  Though it would've been nice if there had been some snow, the warmer weather let us enjoy being outside a bit.  Wyatt and Grandma joined us for the last of our search, and then we got hot chocolate.  All in all, a very successful trip!        

Happy St. Nicholas Day! Leah & Wyatt found goodies in their shoes this Thursday. (Love her bed head in this picture!)   On Friday, we had the pleasure of watching Leah and Wyatt in their first Christmas "play." Leah played a sheep, and then she had a costume change in order to play Mary. Wyatt was an angel... He did not have any speaking lines. :) They were both fantastic.  I thought Leah might get shy, but she did not.  She belted out "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" with all her little heart.  And Wyatt avoided having a meltdown until after the play.  (It started right at his bedtime!) Wyatt's being held in the back row - he's wearing red pants.   Mary with Baby Jesus 

Despite Ryan's SEC snobbery, we have decided to make an annual tradition of going to the Big Ten football championship game.  Last year MSU played, which was fun for me, even though Ryan cheered for the Badgers secretly when he thought I wasn't looking.  This year we watched Nebraska get their behids kicked by Wisconsin.    Grammy and Papa joined us for the weekend to watch the kiddos (thanks Grammy and Papa!) so we could go to the game with friends.  But, that was not before we had some fun at the Indianapolis Kids Museum - which is awesome, if you ever get the chance to visit.  They had a big slide set up for the Jingle Days event, a big ice castle to climb in, and many engaging exhibits for all.  Lots of pictures - I just couldn't pick!      

As promised, here are some photos from Thanksgiving!
