Beckham and Brooklyn at 20 months

You both are growing up too fast! I love it though. We love being able to communicate more with you and see how well you are learning new things. You both are so sweet to each other and love playing together. You both keep me on my toes because you both love going the opposite way. You each have different personalities and strengths that make you unique and who you are. We love you!

Loves to burp

Loves dogs

Loves to give kisses

New word is uh-oh

Has recently loved having a blanket

Loves to explore the PlayPlace at McDonald's

Looking at the lights and ornaments. Probably scoping out which one to throw!

He loves sticking food in between his little toes and playing with it before he eats it...gross but funny.

Brooklyn

Ward Christmas Party

Last night we hurried over to the church building with the 90 lbs of pork we had cooked all day for the ward Christmas party. Lets just say my morning was a little stressful! But the food turned out really good, Santa was awesome, and the company was great!

Guess the kids weren't too thrilled about the whole Santa part...must have been the 25 minute line we had to wait in!

The Primary kids did a little music number followed by the missionaries and then the whole ward chiming in...I think it was just a little overload on the music but oh well.

Hope we aren't in charge of the food next year! :)

Christmas Lights at Trade Wind Park

For FHE on Monday, we decided the kids would be old enough to 'appreciate' the light displays. We visited Trade Wind Park and drove through the 3 mile stretch of lights. It wasn't too crowded so we were able to get in and out but I think the kids were entertained for a little bit. The weather was pretty muggy but we managed to jack up the AC while out windows were down. Can you believe its 80 here in December!?

I felt like we were in the Twilight zone or something when we came upon this light tunnel. Don't mind my voice in the video...
