Enjoying December

I'm glad we had time to make sugar cookies together. Christmastime does not seem complete without them. I frosted the cookies while Ben and Curt decorated.

 Lots of sprinkles and chocolate chips!

 Ben loved getting slippers and a robe with his "Christmas Eve" jammies. He does love to be cozy. We decided to move up our present opening a day early because we thought I might end up in the hospital on Christmas. But, today is the 27th and still no baby. So we were a bit off on that one.

 Santa brought the Lewis Hamilton car that Ben had asked him for. He was very excited!

 The new pirate ship has been a favorite. He has played with it a TON a last few days.

 Ben also got a few more pirate dress-up things. I've heard "Aarg!" a lot lately. :)

 My parents came yesterday for a visit since my dad has this week off of work. We're hoping that I'll have the baby while they are here, but I'm not sure that is going to happen since they head home tomorrow. Ben was very excited to get a new bike from them for Christmas. Yesterday, the weather was pretty nice, so he was able to try it outside. He still needs to figure out the pedals better, but it was a good first try.

 Ben thought that he and Gramps needed to be pirates. Be forewarned that if you come visit, you might have to be a pirate too!

 This morning we woke up to a little bit of snow. Curt took Ben out this afternoon to build a snowman.

I was surprised that they were able to make that big of a snowman because there really isn't that much snow out there.

We are enjoying hanging out with my parents right now and hope that our little girl would like to arrive sometime soon! We are all excited to meet her!
