1) Leaks
We have been dropping like flies this week with the stomach flu and a really nasty cold... all of us but Bryce. Until Sat. it finally caught up to him too... he has been very sad all weekend. As you can see Daddy tries to comfort little Bryce but he only wants me all day and all night, ugh I hate sickness!
Jeremiah played in his 1st real Bball game this Sat!!! It was so much fun to watch him. We have had him in other sorts but he never really plays hard at the games or gets into it. Basketball was different! I guess it runs deep in that Anderson blood... he played hard and had a great game! 
I was looking at Anne Marie's blog and Jeremiah noticed that she had posted about the kids recital (of course). He then asked why I didn't post his recital... How can I explain that there where so many xmas post that somehow I forget. He did a great job and played all 3 songs perfectly! After playing Rudolph and Hrak the Harold... his teacher signaled him to bow but Jeremiah was not done he wanted to finish with the First Noel. He fills our home with wonderful music everyday and I am so thankful for him and is talents!
I let Bryce finger paint for the first time this week. As you can see he had a great time painting his face!
When we moved into our house the previous owners had paint the brick around the fireplace white. I never liked it but wasn't sure how to fix it. Until, one day I was at my friend Christine's home and saw her beautifully painted fireplace. She came over and painted mine on Thursday. She did such an amazing job!!!! Thanks Christine you are so talented!
Did you see the skating dog in the Rose Parade? I guess Matt figured if a dog can skate then why not my one year old??? Bryce LOVES it! He has made a "home-sign" for skateboard and it is the only toy he ever wants. When we get the board out of the garage he SQEALS for JOY and when it is time to say bye-bye to the board there is also lots of screaming.
Matt asked me t include a pic of HIS finished project. So, here it is the WHOLE GANG that helped Matt build a fence.
Awhile age I was tagged... and I had to list some wishes. One of the wishes I listed was a new fence for our yard. It seems there is a blog fairy and wishes do come true. Upon returning home from our trip we found our fence was gone. My Mom and Stan had taken it down in hopes to surprise us with a new fence when we returned. The weather didn't agree, so Matt learned how to build a fence... along with Stan a friend and the KIDS:) Thanks for making my wish come true Mom!
Getting everyone ready for church in their Christmas best wasn't easy and Carli's face tells all:) It was a nice day in the end. We had a chance to hear G. Anderson and Uncle Ryan read some of Grandma's Christmas poems as part of the beautiful program at church. It was a good way to start Christmas off right. As always Dad made the day extra special with gifts for everyone. Carli and had pretty pins to wear and the boys had holiday ties.
We took an enchanting ride through downtown Los Gatos. The little cottage homes had lights galore and even though it was freezing we had a great time. Carli even got to feed the horses.
Why does Bryce love to visit G and G Anderson??? All the hats of course. He is obsessed with hats and they have 2 hat racks full of hats... heaven for little Bryce.
Jeremiah went off on a treasure hunt when he found a treasure map under the magic tree. It was a little scary fighting off the boa trees LOL but he was able to retrieve the lost treasure.
Grandma and Grandpa Anderson's home always has a magical feel to it. The even have their own magic tree. The kids found little gifts under the tree each morning.
Christmas eve is full of traditions in our home (or in this case our parents home). We open the xmas eve PJs, put out cookies and carrots for Santa, read and act out the birth of Christ, read Twas the Night before Christmas... and of course eat mexican food and share during Circle Time.
Christmas day we enjoyed hanging out with family (in PJs most the day), eating tea rings, and of course opening of presents.
One of my favorite days was our hike and visit to Carmel. It is so breath taking! It was a beautiful day we could not have asked for more perfect weather.
