We headed down to Salem to be with Ryan's family for the day and greatly enjoyed the yummy feast of really good food, followed by games and conversation. Ryan and the boys stayed the night down there, while I headed home. I had plans with my friends to go out shopping on Black Friday. It was so hard to get up at 3:30am when it was the first time in a while I had gotten a really good uninterrupted (by Pete) sleep. But it was worth while. I got all of my Christmas shopping done for Jack and Pete and just had a blast hanging out with the girls.
Pete has started sitting up really good now by himself and also had his first taste of rice cereal which he wasn't a big fan of at first.
Not impressed with the rice cereal at all!
Jack has discovered a new love: making art! It makes me proud. He still loves playing with his beloved cars, but for now he is spending a great deal of his day drawing, colouring, and painting.
The boys have been getting along so much better lately. Well, let me rephrase that. Jack has been getting along much better with his brother lately ( although on second glance at this picture here it looks like Jack is ready to take a punch at Pete..Haha). They roll around on the floor together and Pete is highly entertained by pretty much everything Jack does. I love having two boys. It makes me so happy to see them interacting and I can't wait till Pete is old enough to really play with Jack.
We went with some friends on Saturday and cut down our own Christmas tree. It was really fun and I hope that it will become a new family tradition...at least while we are living in Oregon. I mean seriously you can't live here and not get a nice real tree, ours is lovely and it was only $10! I am really looking forward to spending our first Christmas in our new home this year.

haylee paints with watercolor paing all the time. So fun. Is it so lame that we have a fake tree? Can't wait to hang out with you this week.
Oh those pictures are soo dang cute of the boys!!!
Hi Leigh!! I had to laugh when I read about you getting such a fresh live tree for so cheap!! We went to the tree lot this year and the salesman selling us a tree told us they arrived from Oregon three days ago! I had to laugh when I heard the price. My tree from Oregon cost $85! LOL!
Jack and Pete are adorable! They are looking more and more alike!
Sadly, not on Facebook anymore...I got too addicted and it was too time consuming. LOL! I am going to keep the blog going though. Hope you have a Merry Christmas!!!
