Another busy month, full of adventures at home and out of town...

 I went to a Washington Huskies football game with my Dad, my brother, and some other Kroekers.  The Dawgs won and we had a great time! 

 Hudson discovered masking tape.  He LOVES it.  He spends a lot of time building "traps" for heffalumps (a la The Heffalump Movie), often making it hard even for humans to navigate through the house.

And play-doh has been re-introduced at our house after a long hiatus, due to Hudson's inability to not eat it. 

 Hailey and Reese (and Holly) have matching winter pyjamas.  And everyone likes to read A Charlie Brown Christmas. 

 Hailey likes to shop.

She's also VERY difficult to keep out of trouble on Sunday mornings while I try to get ready for church.  She's always trying to fall off the toilet (she stands on it) or burn herself on my hair straightener.  So sometimes I put a Curious George episode on the portable DVD player and let her stand really close to it.

Hudson loves to type on the computer.  Sometimes he writes the "words" to songs he's learning at Sunday School and sometimes he types out changing scores for pretend games.  

We also like to spend time with the Teeter boys.  Hailey likes Riley as much as Ethan likes Hudson.  One day last week I babysat the boys for a few hours.  I was very busy, except for the 20 minutes they were all enamored with good ol' Curious George.  

 And we spent US Thanksgiving with Grammy and Uncle Kevin.  

Both kids enjoyed thinking they were playing old school Nintendo (extra controller, not attached).

 Grammy helped the kids make turkeys while we watched the Seahawks game. 

 And the kids took their first trip to see Grampy's tree (in the yard at Grammy's house).  Uncle Kevin had decorated it with Christmas lights and a Santa hat, which fell off in a wind storm, so the kids helped put the hat back on.  And then Hailey spent a lot of time talking about the hat.
