Downtown!

 We are doing much better around here today! Samuel's sore throat was much better so he was ready to play outside and take advantage of this warm December day. Zakkai's leg improved a lot throughout the day, which I am so thankful for! I still made him take it easy because I was so worried about him re-injuring himself but kids are so quick to bounce back! Lucky:) Even my headaches and some other symptoms are finally beginning to fade a bit which is nice. Can't wait to feel good again!

We spent some time at the park this morning and then late this afternoon, we went to our cute downtown area for a Christmas celebration. All the cute shops along the downtown area had little samples or candy to give out, Santa came riding through town on a fire truck and helped light up a huge tree by the Village Hall, there were choirs and bands on different corners, lights and more!

It was really crowded but we enjoyed getting out for awhile!

Cute kid who's a bit too smart for his britches! My little smart alec:)

"Cheese!" This little dolly is just too cute. She makes us laugh all the time with the funny things she says/does. She was mad at me for buckling her back in her carseat when we were leaving the downtown events tonight and cried for several minutes. After about 5 minutes, it became noticably fake and forced. She was quiet for a minute and then she said, "Missy sad!"

We were at a red light and both B and I turned around to look at her and she got the cutest grin on her little face which made us laugh! Then she said, "Daddy sad? Mommy sad? Samuel sad! Kai sad!" She always has to run through our whole family like that. What a silly goose!

I don't have a pic of Z from last night because he was just a mess but he made us laugh the other night when we were talking at the dinner table. Something got him thinking about names and he turned to look at Ben and said, "Is your real name Daddy Benjamin Thomas or Benjamin Thomas?"

So cute:)
