December and the Dudes

Busy life, busy world, and kids that keep getting cuter and cuter. Ciaran had his 6 month appointment this past week and the news continues to be good. Ciaran is up to 13 and 1/2 pounds. He's still not quite big enough to get onto the 6 month charts, but his head is down in the bottom 10%, so he's slowly catching up.

Here are some pictures of the adorable hat dudes...







We had our ward Christmas party on Saturday. Lighting wasn't very great so we didn't get a lot of pictures. Ciaran dressed up as an elf.



Somehow the only picture I got of Beckett at the party occurred right after he had eaten a green sugar cookie. He isn't really ill, he just looks like it.



Earlier this same day, we went to visit a ward member who has a really cool train setup at his house. As you can see, Beckett thought it was awesome. Our friend had lots of levers set up around the tracks and he let Beckett play with the levers, dumping little peppermint logs and turning on Christmas tree lights. Lots of fun.



Ciaran and mom didn't quite know what was going on, but they were cute.



Our friend has a train set that includes a boxcar for all 50 states. Dawnell and I are in agreement with this train.





Beckett was certainly happy after playing with the trains.
