Deck the Halls 09

Thanks to my mom for letting us borrow a pre-lit space-saving tree!  The boys LOVED decorating and even now, Levi rearranges all the ornaments at the bottom of the tree to his liking...

Levi likes to hang as many on one branch as possible.

How to reach the high spots:

Ethan is almost 6!

We named our Elf Zart:

Job well done!

UP HIGH is the theme of the day:
Like I said, sometimes up high is the only safe to play Legos!
Ethan loves to play Lego Batman
Bryce spends hours setting up people and animals~!
And last, but not least, one more UP HIGH picture for ya!

I think he really liked it!

Note to self:  Lysol the edges and rinse BEFORE he takes his bath!

And of course, as soon as I came back from dressing Ben, this is what I found:

Levi Quotes

When we were sharing a bowl of casserole, he hopped down to get a drink and said, " Don't eat it all Mommy, DON'T!"

He asked Jamie if she wanted some money and when she said yes, he pulled some pennies out of the crotch of his pull-up and handed them to her :)

When Jordan asked him to go get a new pull-up, he replied, "Don't make me cry!"  (Just like Weegie had said to him when he wouldn't give her a hug that day.
