Keldon

It is so great to see Keldon pretending. He loves to dress up and gets totally into character. It reminds me that he is still such a young guy. He is growing up mighty fast these days.

Cookies for Santa

Keldon insisted that we bring a plate of cookies to Santa. We met him at the YMCA one morning and had breakfast with him. Keldon LOVED it. Everyone thought he was just so thoughtful to bring Santa cookies. I love seeing this side of Keldon, the generous, thoughtful side. It is great to know that he will be a well rounded person. I thinking of these moments with we are having the extreme opposite!

Christmas Traditions

So, we are always trying to incorporate new and old traditions into our celebration at Christmas time. This year we decided Keldon was old enough to put baby Jesus in the manger of our nativity. He really enoyed it. He also enjoyed hearing the story over and over. I was very proud of his understand of the true meaning of Christmas.

Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving at the Martin's (Anna's parents) home. It was very nice. There was lots of great food and the kids had fun playing as always. The girls also got to sneak off to a movie (Twilight of course!)without any kids (including babies). Thanks so much to our guys for giving us those two hours off. It was so great, I only took one picture! Sorry guys.

Keldon's Food Drive

In November, Keldon went around our neighborhood collecting food for the food bank. He pulled his red wagon and looked oh so cute. He really enjoyed doing it and sincerely wanted to get food for "the little boys and girls that don't have any" (as he told each person he met). A couple of friends helped as well. We collected 60lbs in two evenings. The people at the food bank were so impressed with the kids. Here are a few pictures from there.

Brenham Trip

We took a little trip to Brenham, Texas to visit Michael's family for Thanksgiving. We had a lot of fun seeing everyone. We also got to tour the Blue Bell Ice Cream factory. Keldon really loved that!

It is hard to get good pictures with two kids! This is the best I got.

Keldon was very cooperative this morning while taking pictures.

This is one of my favorites. He just looks so grown up!

Keldon's soccer season ended well. He was doing much better by the end of the season. He is excited to be starting basketball in January!
