Yes, I know Christmas has come and gone.  Frankly, I'm okay with that, but you know how I am about the Blog.  It's amazing that I'm adding a post about Christmas and it's only January 16th!  Plus these pictures are just too good not to share, so here we go...

First and Second Timothy decided to try their hand at decorating yummy homemade sugar cookies one afternoon in late December.

They gathered up all the necessary ingredients....

 and got to work.

Intense concentration was needed.  

And maybe a lick or two!

I think they turned out just about the prettiest cookies I've ever seen!  Good job, Fellas!

All Aboard!!

I know this post is sadly overdue, but after much deliberation within myself, I decided that this was a very definite case of "better late than never."  

One afternoon this last fall, Chip and I

 met Colter and Jude and Family 

 for a very fun afternoon riding the train!  

Once on board the train, one  must always present one's ticket to the conductor.

They look like train riding veterans, don't they??

To be honest, I didn't get many pictures of them during the actual train ride, because they were too busy looking out the windows!

But the ones I did manage to snap showed some pretty happy little boys!

I'm so glad they have each other to be best buddies!
