This and That

I don't have a ton to update.  It's a busy time with church, work, and the kids.  Svea went with Dan today to the older kids' Christmas pageant.  Svea's will be next week.  I'm hoping she will go up there and sing.  If she does it'll be her first time.  I've wrote down just a few things that I want to remember about these two at this age.  I just wish I could freeze time.  Every day we are exhausted at the end of the day, but each day can be so magical with these two!

Kieran-loves to be tickled in his neck with kisses before bed.  He giggles like crazy.  Is starting to get more afraid at night.  You used to say good night and he'd roll over and be done, but now he cries a bit after you leave. He is speaking more in sentences and very rarely just says one or two words.  He continues to get better as far as understanding him goes.  More and more strangers are picking up on his words.

 I was trying to get one of those pretty Christmas lights shots, but it didn't go so well...he's in his diaper:)

 Svea is pretending to be Izzy from her favorite cartoon.  Kieran was running around chasing her.

 There they go!

This is Svea saying, "Stop Mommy...no more pictures".  Ha!

Svea-loves playing Jake and the Neverland pirates.  She wants mom and dad to play Captain Hook and chase her around the house.  She is way into her little bible these days.  She will want us to read multiple stories from it and mostly wants the ones with Jesus in it.  She still gets scared very easily.  We tried How the Grinch Stole Christmas, but it was hard to get through.  My guess is she won't want that one until maybe next Christmas.
