Nice Long Weekend

We all enjoyed a nice 5 day weekend. I have been off since Tuesday and Kris took off Wednesday at noon.    We got some chores done around the house, as well as plenty of relaxing! I can honestly say I only left the house once from Wednesday night through Monday morning---and that was to go to church.

In the above picture you can see Kale's latest obsession. He likes to wear his shiny black church shoes everywhere he goes. 

We got the house decorated inside and out for Christmas. 

Kale really wasn't too much help. He mainly walked around with the Santa hat over his eyes and attempted to throw the glass balls that go on the tree. Apparently he thought they were actual balls. He also enjoyed playing with all of the ornaments that resembled cars or had wheels. 

The beginning stages of decoration...

Kale also enjoyed playing on the stairs while we were trying to decorate. 

Kale loves to sit on the floor and have snack time. He actually goes in the cabinet, gets out what he wants to eat, pulls a plastic bowl out of his drawer, plops down on the floor and goes to town eating! 

Although this picture doesn't necessarily show it (considering Kale is crying), he is somewhat of a better eater these days. He will actually eat something besides yogurt and cheese. He will eat anything that has cinnamon on it for breakfast (he has a sweet tooth), and he enjoys fish sticks and chicken nuggets for all his other meals. I don't care though, so long as he is eating. I will feed him chicken nuggets every meal for the rest of his life! 

Kale is (kinda sorta) into watching TV. If we play Barney video clips on youtube.com, he will sit in our laps and watch for awhile. He loves the songs and can sing along/do the motions to the ABC song, Itsy Bitsy Spider, If You're Happy and you Know It, and Old McDonald.

The tree is finally decorated and all of the packages are wrapped! 

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...except for Liam's. I still have to get a stocking hanger for his. 

The table is decorated and ready for Christmas dinner!

The next few weeks promise to pass fast and furiously! Liam is set to arrive in 2 weeks and 5 days (if not before), so I really, really feel the urge to have everything completely wrapped up and ready for Christmas, since I know after the 15th I won't be getting much done. We are thankful to have many visitors who will be staying with us on/around the Christmas holiday. I know we will need the help!
