Count down to Christmas

Our Christmas countdown started with Thanksgiving. It was a wonderful weekend up in Wisconsin. Laid back and full of family, just the way we like it. Mom and Dad managed to squeeze us all into the sunporch for a sit down meal. And the boys loved playing with their cousins. And sibling bonding night was a blast too! Here are some highlights...

The Ben's watching TV....we told Uncle Ben he had outgrown the chance to lounge like little Ben.

Uncle Chad, Maddie, and Ben reading before bed.

Grandma was on top of Christmas this year and we all got our presents before we left. The boys LOVE their "video game" (a VSmile)

On Saturday our whole gang (minus a few) traveled to Racine for a "baby shower" to celebrate the new Davis that's on the way. The boys decided a front yard football game was in order and of course Luke had to be in the middle of it. (Mostly cause Uncle Nate was playing)

Uncle Nate let him hike the ball!

Ben eating dessert with the mom to be!

A great turn out of Bickels! It's was so nice to be able to spend an afternoon with everyone there.

And as is tradition, we ended our Thanksgiving weekend by hauling down the decorations and putting up the tree.

Ben was so excited to check out all the ornaments.

And Santa's little helpers put on their hats (they insisted on wearing them).

We've also made some craft projects and baking to do for Christmas gifts so the boys got brand new aprons to keep their clothes stain free.
