dang they are cute!!!!

I took this photo the other night and the kids were such a good sports. I can't belive that Halle is almost one year old. The kids are having a hard time not opening the presents under the tree this year. It has been fun to watch them get excited about Christmas. Hope everyone has a great Holiday and gets to spend time with people they love.

There are some great milestones that took place in our family today. First that Ren is officially trained to clean toilets ;) We are very happy that he is starting his new job and I am Very proud of him for taking this step for us. Second, Daiken was taking a bath tonight and came running in our bedroom dripping wet and stark bare to announce that he had "pooped in the potty" sure enough to my surprise there in the bottom of the toilet, the remains of yesterday's meals. I am a proud mom today!!!! Mothers of stbborn boys unite!!!
