I just thought this was funny, for some reason sylvan is under the impression that the navtivity scene ends in severe demolition. Every time i would set it back up, a few min later sylvan would be knocking them all down again, then turn to me and say "i win mom"

Kaydens cousin Brody gave the boys his collection of GI Joes this year, but bill had fun putting them together and setting them up around the presents.

thanks to heidi we got a bunch of lil girl baby toys for Sophie.

Then we went to Grandmas house and hung out all day eating food and plyaing games and opening more presents. Here is heidi's lil guy who is 3 months old, with sophie.

and of corse nap time!

SOPHIE AVONELL NIELSON

Finally we get to welcome a girl to our home! Sweet lil Sophie was born 12/14/09 at 12:04 pm weighed 7 lbs 4 oz 18.5 inches. she is beautiful!

finally got our christmas tree up! yes i know it is very small and fake but desperate times......the boys still had a lot of fun putting the ornaments on, as you can see the bottom of the tree was done by the boys.

bill and I have been learning how to make bread! and its been really fun! here we did a mix of wheat and white and yes! it is as good as it looks.
