Brielle is 5 months old already. She is rolling from her back to her tummy and is very close to rolling from her tummy to her back. She loves to be held and hates to be put down. She is so cute when she laughs out loud.

Sunday School Christmas Program

Cade and Paige had their Sunday School Christmas program today at church. Paige did a GREAT job reciting her verse! Below is the video of it. They both did a great job singing. We had the following people come and watch today: Grandma Cathy, Grandma June, Trisha, and her boyfriend, Josh. We had a lasagna lunch afterwards.

Brielle's First Bath in the Tub

Brielle had her first bath in the bathtub tonight. She wasn't too sure what to think right away, but was enjoying it after a little bit.

"Baby" Camden

Camden has reverted back to being a baby. I found him with Brielle's bib on playing under her floor toy. Funny boy!

A Visit With Santa

We took the kids to see Santa tonight at NDSCS. Camden was a bit unsure about Santa at first, but after some coaxing, he sat on Santa's lap and told Santa that he wanted "toys". He then started getting really chatty with Santa saying "Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas Santa". After sitting on Santa's lap and getting a gift, the kids decorated a cut-out cookie and decorated chef's hats. Camden kept going over to Santa, waving and talking to him. When we were ready to leave, he wanted to be sure Santa knew that we were leaving, so he went over to him AGAIN and told him goodbye. Paige was shy too around Santa and needed a little coaxing to tell him what she wanted for Christmas...a red Nintendo DS. Cade really enjoyed decorating his cookie with lots of frosting and sprinkles.

Camden Loves America's Funniest Videos

As you can see, one of Camden's favorite shows is AFV. He's constantly filled with excitement and running in place when watching it. He does this when watching sports, too.

Student of the Month

What an exciting day...Paige got student of the month! She was nominated by her music teacher, Mrs. Arth. Mrs. Arth awarded it to Paige for "singing her heart out, knowing her actions, and having a great smile every day!". Wow...Paige has really come out of her shell! In the past, she would not sing or do any actions of any kind when with a group of kids. Way to go, Paige!!
