O Christmas Train, O Christmas Train....

In the mind of Drew, trains are IT. I mean, this boy loves trains! So, when a sweet elderly lady in our ward called yesterday to tell me that she wanted my boys to have her late husband's Christmas Train, I graciously accepted.

We went straight home from picking it up, tried to set it up around the Christmas Tree (it's too big for the small space we have there) , and eventually got it all set up in Drew's room. Boy, is he excited!

Grant loves it just as much, but doesn't quite have the self restraint to not continually pull it off the tracks. Drew is so sweet with him, and gently puts his arm around him as they watch it go round and round (whether it's done out of love or restraint, I'm still not sure-- I honestly think it's a little of both :)

Man, I love these kids!!

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow

There's nothing like a good snowstorm to really get you in the mood for the holidays. That's exactly what we've had the last two days, and I love it!

I love looking out my window to snow covered trees-- so beautiful!

This morning Andy was out shoveling the 8 + inches off of our driveway, so we all decided to go out and join him.


This is the first time Grant has experienced snow, and I think he really loves it.

(Even when his brother packs snow all around him in his sled)

Drew had a blast, no matter how long it took him to get up after he'd fall (due to the many layers in an effort to keep him warm :)




And, the first Bham Family Snowman of the '09-'10 winter (mohawk and all :)

Drew, you have the floor

Sunday after Thanksgiving, we were sitting around our kitchen table enjoying dinner (And, Whit, Me, and the boys).

Whitney, Andy and I were having a nice conversation about our church meetings that day. What was taught, how we felt, the things we learned, etc.

About 10 minutes into our conversation, Drew blurts out, "STOP TALKING! I want to talk you something!" (I love how he still says the wrong words sometimes :)

"Okay, Drew, what do you want to say?"

"Ummm.... I shake my booty all day long!"

Honestly, whose child is this?!?

I still claim him {as his father's :) }

Thanksgiving with Whit

My sister Whitney was able to come up here for Thanksgiving this year, and boy did we love it! It was too short, but we managed to squeeze a lot of good times in :)

-Yummy Thanksgiving dinner-- always easier to prepare with 4 hands instead of 2!



-Good times visiting with friends!



-Trip to our famous Apple Orchard around here-- the donuts and cider are the best! Not to mention all the delish samples :)

Driving the train at the apple orchard play ground

-We went and saw New Moon-- it was great! I liked it a lot more than the first movie.

-Lots of games played--- we love games, but it gets hard after a while to only have two people to play with, so we love having visitors and friends to play with!!

Overall, we had a great time! Come back again soon, Whit! We Love You!
