O Christmas Tree!  O Christmas Tree!  How lovely are your branches!

See the checkers?  Raleigh made me "flowers"!  What a sweetheart!

 Check it out!  Christmas has come to town!  And Raleigh is a little more than obsessed with it all!  Every trip to Walmart (which is every other day) Raleigh yells "CHRISTMAS TREEEEEE!!!"  And then we sing the song.  And then we get funny looks (mostly at me, apparently singing in Wally World is only cute when kids do it).

Anyways, I am really enjoying practicing the piano lately.  I played "When the Saints Go Marching In" for Emma on the phone and I am really proud of being able to play BOTH hands at ONCE, talk about talent!  Anyways, my goal is to be able to play many of the hymns well enough that people could sing to it.  This will take me years, i'm sure, but I really enjoy it right now and hey it's a cheap hobby!  Well, once you get the piano at least lol.  The boys really love to play the piano with me too.  Raleigh asks to play Jingle Bells every day and Trenty is usually on my lap while I practice, or on the floor next to me.

We listen to a lot of classical music in the car too, its helping me to feel less stress and anxiety, etc.  This week has been really busy and we are in for an adventure when we head out to Utah/Idaho for Christmas.  Oh and I have a two year old who likes to push limits.  I seriously love the heck out of him but man sometimes he drives me nuts.

Trenty is doing well.  Rockin' and rollin' on all fours a lot and reaching for everything.  We finally got a baby monitor so he will be out of our room soon.  Raleigh has a new bed, yay!  Alright, well this post is very random but I just wanted to update a little.  Have a great weekend!
