"Ho, Ho, Holy"

Like his brothers, Ryan has truly been enjoying the singing at our Bible class on Thursday mornings.  "Holy, Holy, Holy" remains a favorite in our house!

It's advent at the Mulders!  The wise men are on their way to Bethlehem, via firetruck, of course!

Let it Snow!

We hit the front yard right after breakfast.  Snow gear x 3 is a bit of a challenge, but we were outside to enjoy the white stuff for at least an hour.  These boys love it and it sure is beautiful!

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving!  We traveled "over the river and through the woods" to Grammy and Grandpa's house this year.  We had a great time celebrating and thanking the Great Provider who sustains us.

Can you guess who is thankful for the following lists?

Santa Parade (Brrrrrr!)

Sucker

Where is it?

Where is it?

Almost got it . . .

Got it!

We've got a thumb-sucker, folks!

Handsome

Our middle man is one of the handsomest guys that I know. However, he's also going through a fairly unphotogenic stage as is evidenced by the following series. We love this guy. A lot.

Mac-n-Cheese

These two just ate an ENTIRE box of macaroni and cheese by themselves!

Luke's Blog

Luke is sitting on my lap. He wanted to do a blog with me. He picked these four pictures to share. This is what he says about each one:

"Luke teething" (He picked this one. It cracks him up. I had told him to smile.)

"Ryan"

"Luke kissing."

"Eli watching."

Now he wants to, "Watch, hockey, Mommy, watch hockey. Watch hockey."

I love my little moments which each of these little guys.

Trick or Treat

Two and Three

How can it be?

We've been making lemonade out of lemons this week. The excavator arrived last Thursday to begin pool removal. While it still kind of stings that we've lost this great source of entertainment, it made for a great construction (destruction?) truck-themed party. We love you boys!

I know I'm no cake boss, but how many truck cakes actually have a 2-story excavator in the background?

No, you're not confused. Our birthday boys decided they preferred the other's candle.
