My boys

I mean honestly, how cute is this little boy in all his taekwondo glory? He is now an orange belt, which means he'll be able to spar with other orange belts, which means I have to cough up a nice wad of cash to pay for the gear.
Here he is posing for pics because we're cheap and didn't order the karate pics he had taken that day because we knew we could do oh so much better than any professional photographer....okay, we totally suck at photography but I'm cheap.
Here is little Aidan, hamming it up for the camera.
We went ice skating on Saturday and it was Aidan's first time. He was pretty nervous at first, especially when he fell down for the first time and then some bigger kid fell down and kicked Aidan in the head with his skate. yeah, no blood was shed but Aidan sustained a nice bump. But he got over it pretty quick and by the second lap felt comfortable enough to skate along side us while holding his hands. Not bad for a two year old in my opinion. Isn't my husband so cute?!

Some other updates: Thanksgiving was nice and relaxing thanks to my incredible in-laws who pretty much did everything and let me take naps.
We're full on into the Christmas season, complete with our charlie brown christmas tree, I'll post pics later, it's pretty pathetic but very adorable.
Aidan keeps asking where Santa Claus is and when we can go see him. Camden thinks Santa's elves are invisible and hiding everywhere to spy on boys and girls and report back to St. Nick.

Oh, and I made 175 molasses sugar cookies for Camden's preschool fundraiser on Friday. It actually only took me a few hours and one double batch of cookie dough. Thank goodness the cookies are supposed to be the size of silver dollars so they can fit 5 dozen on one plate for those who purchase them. Anyone want to donate? I'll eat them for you!! haha, just kidding.
