December kept us busy!

A little taste of our December...

Roarrrrr!  Let's get this month started!

Moving of the furniture and a sheet...a homemade tent! 

And some fun in the real tent in the basement :)

Riding a motorcycle at the Children's Museum

Giving the reindeer a brushing before their big night  :)

Racing the cars in the Hot Wheels exhibit

Maryn loves the carousel!

I think this may have been Cormac's first time to actually ride on one of the animals!
He loved it!

Theo was pretty excited too!

At the Butler vs IU game...such an AWESOME win!!!!

Maryn wrapped herself up one night and told us she was Mary :)

A little festive attire for our cooking baking :)

Grandma Spaulding came down to spend the night with us.
For some reason Theo seems to be without pants in a lot of our family pictures...hmmm:)

Maryn was the caroler in her school play.
She sang one of her favorites, Deck The Halls!

One morning when Jeremy was off we headed downtown to the Eiteljorg Museum to see Jingle Rails.
As the website says, "Jingle Rails: The Great Western Adventure is a journey to the Great American West- the real West and the West of the imagination."  Everything is made of natural materials such as moss, twigs and nuts with a little holiday cheer.  

Theo LOVED it!  He loves trains and this was perfect for him!
We were talking about the passenger train and how people would ride for a long time and lunch on the train.
He now has his whole meal planned for his first train ride...hot dog, yogurt, pear and milk :)

Maryn liked the part where Old Faithful went off.

The attempt at a cute photo :)

Our first "big" snow!  We brought some inside to play with.

Of course Theo tried to eat it!

Well here they are visiting Santa...Maryn was great, Theo was fairly dazed and at least didn't cry, Cormac was just not having it!

Ready to build a gingerbread house!!

Not sure if more candy was eaten or placed on the house :)

Cormac's turn to help!

Hooray!!  We are going to see Christmas lights!!

On the Saturday night before Christmas, we drove around to see Christmas lights.
The kids loved spotting houses, but were really excited to go up to Reynold's Farm Equipment and see their big display.  We had to wait in a pretty long line, but it was worth it!
