Happy kids

The kids are in bed and I needed to see some happy pictures today.

Everybody gets a candy as we count down the days to Christmas on our Advent calendar! 

We may as well leave the ornaments off.

"To Santa Clus  I hav been very Good Fram Sarah Lorentsen"
She sealed it before showing me so I don't know what she wrote yet.

Cookies after Anna's Christmas song program.  She did a great job singing with her class.

The weekend after Thanksgiving we went to a fun park in San Antonio.  
This is their first carousel ride.  Arve did stand next to Erik once it started :)

The kids loved this pretend store the most!

Erik was a handful as usual.

He is not the first toddler to do that judging from the marks on the wall :)

Then he calmed down and shopped.



Anna thought it was so cool being able to pet animals like that, but she was terrified when their faces turned towards her.  In this picture, she jumped up and gave Sarah a turn when she thought the brown goat was getting too close. 

Sarah didn't even get upset when the chicken flew onto her shoulder. 

It was cold outside and it was past dinnertime by the time we got to see Santa, but Erik still held up pretty well. It was a fun weekend!
