It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

We had a great December weekend!  Brodie had his first basketball practice yesterday.  They learned how to dribble.  I think dribbling in basketball is harder than soccer (that reminds me; he is supposed to be practicing his dribbling :)  We then went to Lowes and made a caboose of a train (hopefully we can make all three parts this year because Isaac keeps trying to hook his wooden caboose up to a plastic engine).  We then went to a Christmas event at a local Catholic church.  The boys got to make Christmas decorations, visit Santa, write Santa a letter, and other fun activities.
Today we put up the Christmas tree and decorations!  We did the first step in making our salt dough ornaments.  I love this time of year.  Now we just need some snow!

Practicing shooting before practice (yes he did make a basket)

I love my Daddy!

And then the camera battery ran out - with the lens open.
