Santa

We took the boys to see Santa. They were really excited as we were standing in line, and when it became our turn, Caden climbed out of Eric's arms and ran to Santa. Caleb however, was excited until we got close to Santa and then he got scared. There was no way he was letting me put him down in Santa's lap. So I held Caleb next to Santa instead!

Christmas at Gram and Pappaw's

We had an early Christmas celebration with the Konrad side in Cincinnati. When we arrived, there was fresh snow, so the boys got to play in the snow for the first time. We had a great visit and Caden and Caleb loved their presents. Caden loves Toy Story, and Shorty got them Toy Story books, once Caden opened them he didn't want to set them down. She also made them and Eric matching beanies...they look so cute! They got so many great presents! Gram and Pappaw got them a tent and tube that we can't wait to set up in our loft. And they got so many fun toys and outfits. We also went to their cousin Aidan's 1st birthday party. Donita got a cute picture of Caleb, Aidan, Cole and Caden. Here are some pictures of the fun we had at their house!

Caleb's Favorite Things

Caleb loves cooking and cleaning! At home, if I'm sweeping or vacuuming he's right next to me trying to help. Sometimes I'll let him have the broom after I finish and he walks around the kitchen trying to sweep. He looks so cute, the broom is twice the length he is! If anyone is cooking he has to be held by that person so that he can see what's on the stove. When I'm home alone with them I usually have them both in highchairs next to the stove while I cook. Over the Christmas holidays he got the opportunity to play at Jude and Jen's house and at Rich and Suzie's who both have play kitchens at their houses. He didn't want to leave! He had such a blast playing with their pots and pans and especially the spoons and measuring cups.

New Discoveries Continued

Caden has loved airplanes for the past few months. When we're outside he watches for them in the sky and spots them before anyone else can see them. Twice, Eric and I have taken them to the airport to watch airplanes take off and land. Gram got a video of Caden and Caleb flying like an airplane when we were in Maggie Valley for Thanksgiving. I'll try to upload the video later, it's not working right now.

New Discoveries

This year I have been really bad about keeping up with the boys blog. Between nursing school and those busy little guys, I haven't had much extra time to keep up with this. But my new resolution is to do a better job of chronicling their lives and new adventures.

In November, Caden fell off of our rocking horse and fractured his right tibia! He had to wear a cast for 3 weeks. He was such a good sport and never complained or acted as as though the cast bothered him.
