Santa
We ventured out to see Santa Claus this last week. I wasn't sure how Truitt would react to the big man in red, but to my surprise he did amazingly well. I'm not sure why I was so surprised, since he is a people person and seems to especially love men. We even got a pretty decent picture of both boys with Santa.

Snow!
We have had so much snow lately! It is a winter wonderland outside. We have been enjoying the sights from inside the house. We have gotten a lot done around the house. We have been doing a lot of Christmas baking, cleaning, and movie watching. I even finished Truitt's stocking last night. It has been cut out and his name embroidered on it since Thanksgiving. Nothing like procrastination :)
I ventured outside this morning to put our Christmas cards in the mailbox and to take a few pictures of the beauty that God created.
*Look what I saw looking out the picture windows from our living room.

Clams
We had a great time at the ocean last week! We hadn't been out to Chris' grandparent's house in way too long. The boys did amazing on the 2 hour drive, the weather was wonderful (dry and not too cold). We really needed that time away as a family. Here are a few pictures of us digging for clams and enjoying time with Chris' grandparents. I will spare you the pictures of us cleaning the clams. Wow! Those creatures are nasty. I had to keep reminding myself that God thinks they are beautiful :)

Cold Day
We don't usually get much snow around here, so when we do we have to cease the opportunity for a little fun outside. Chris and Keegan had fun playing in the snow.
Later in the day, Chris and Keegan baked cookies. Now, those of you who know my husband know that he doesn't cook. So, don't fall off your chairs. It was dough that we purchased at the store. All they had to do was roll it out and use cookie cutters to cut out the shapes. Then Keegan and I decorated them later in the evening.
Just For Fun!

Busy Time of Year
I have been so busy lately, that blogging seems to be the last thing on my mind. I feel like I am running in a million directions with a to-do list that never ends. This year has just flown by! How can it almost be Christmas? With Christmas just around the corner that means by baby will be 1 before I know it. Speaking of, I guess I better get on the ball and get things ready for his birthday party.
I have found a little time lately to be creative (and I do mean a little time). I posted a few pictures of the fabrics that I purchased, but I never said what I intended to make with those fabrics. Well, thanks to my dear sweet husband you can check it out yourself. Check out the logo Chris designed for me, while you are at it. www.kozykiddos.com I have since made several trips to the fabric store and stocked up on TONS of fabric. I have fleece, flannel, cottons, chenilles....... the list goes on. Now to find some time to work on all these projects. Oh, did I mention that I have Truitt's Christmas stocking all cut out and his name embroderied on it? I just need to find time to sew it together. I still haven't picked up my sewing machine from the shop, but that is on the list of things to do tomorrow :) Thankfully, my wonderful mother-in-law has been letting me borrow hers.
After we pick Keegan up from School today we are heading out to the ocean (in the rain and cold) to go clam digging with Chris' grandparents. Keegan is very excited about this. I will post pictures when we return.
