the weekend

So I'm not really sure why but the weekends just go by so fast! Only two more until Christmas (aka Isaac's b-day).  Here are a few of the things we did this weekend...

I was cooking dinner to take to church on Friday - Eli was watching me cut up carrots and decided a carrot would be the perfect snack to go with a waffle :)

on Saturday we went to a friend's Christmas party where Eli got to play the piano

he also got to eat bean dip and wear a really cool hat

Eli has also decided that he needs to get "exercise" by walking around the circle.  No kidding, he'll say, "exercise mommy" which means, walk with me about 40 gerbillion times around the circle.  So we do it.  Here he's roped daddy and brother into getting "exercise" too. :)

tonight (and Friday) we worked our church's Live Nativity.  tonight we were Mary & Joseph at the Inn. 

the boys didn't even notice we were wearing some kind of costume

here's our scene

A cute story for tonight- I took Eli around to look at the different scenes and when we went to the scene of Mary and Joseph with baby Jesus in the manger Eli said "Jesus is born". Sweet.


The last scene is Jesus with a 'modern' family.  Eli went up and gave Jesus a high five, my personal highlight of the night.
