On Saturday morning Bishop had swimming lessons-he moved up to the next class this session and he's been doing great! He loves it and he's really improved, so it's fun to watch him. Nora gets to swim too and she loves the water too!
After swimming lessons we went to Toys for Trees, an event our Realtor puts on as an open house. We bring a Toy and we get a Tree, not a bad deal! Santa and Mrs. Claus were there along with lots of treats (we had a REALLY hard time getting Bishop away from the treats table). It was a fun morning!
Bishop told Santa he wants a bat for Christmas.....Santa was a bit confused so to make sure he understood him correctly he asked, what kind of bat? Bishop replied "the aminal" :) That was new to us!
| Bishop wouldn't sit on Santa's lap, but would sit on Mrs. Claus' lap! :) |

| CHEESE!!! |
We put the tree up that afternoon and we had plans to visit our friends' new baby, but I'm still battling this 5 week long cold and Luke wasn't feeling 100% and Nora had a cough, so we figured we probably shouldn't pass our germs off to an infant!
Sunday afternoon I made cookies with the kids! I picked a relatively easy recipe for the kids to help me with! We made "bacon and eggs". It's 2 pretzel sticks with almond bark poured over them and then an m&m in the middle. I poured the almond bark and the kids did the rest! It was fun (especially eating along the way)! :)

The weather has been SO cold, but it finally broke zero on Sunday so we got out the sleds and went sledding for a bit. The kids went down a couple of times and then got cold--so we took off for home (we walked to the hill by Lake Harriet).

Of course we had to warm up with Hot Chocolate when we got home.....we were all cold!! Winter is here and it's a VERY fun time of year--we are all excited for Christmas and to celebrate with family and friends!
