This past week has been quite different than any other week off for us. Ben usually starts studying now for finals, but only has two this (LAST!) semester and didn't need to. He normally also works the day after Thanksgiving but due to his 36 hour work day a week ago, felt it was OK to take the day off:) We slept in for the last three days, one day until 9:30. It's nice to have kids that give up trying to get you out of bed or just go watch cartoons. The twins just sat in their cribs patiently waiting. Yes, it was nice! Especially for Ben as he hasn't slept in like that in who knows how long. Today we went to the California Railroad Museum downtown. Although we have lot of children, those 5 and under are free, which happens to be 4 out of the 5! I forgot the camera, but it was so much fun for the kids. Nathan was a bit overwhelmed by all the trains that he was like a chicken with his head cut off running around, not knowing where to go first. We ended the day by letting the kids pick some candy from out of the barrels in one of the stores in Old Sac.
And now that Thanksgiving is officially over, it is time for Christmas decorations.
Here they all are, showered, jammied and ready to decorate!
I don't know what is going on here, but Kate and Addison both think Bailey is fascinating. And Emma and Nathan were trying to say Ho Ho Ho!
Daddy puts together our tree. Yes, our good old freecycle tree is still going strong. We did talk tonight about how a real one would be nice someday. But this one is very economical and convenient :)
Addison was ticked she got pushed off the box. These three were little crazies while we were trying to get things together.
Putting on the ornaments
She always has crazy eyes and crazy hair. It's just Emma and she wouldn't be the same without them.
We realized that we didn't have a mantle to hang the stockings on. Well, MacGyver Daddy pulled one out of the garage that we had at our last place and mounted it to the wall just for Christmas stockings!

9:30? I'm so jealous....although I do understand the twins hanging out in their cribs....mine do that too! They always have a playmate....a perk of having twins!~
