A visit with Santa's reindeers

Last week the boys had a chance to meet a couple of Santa's reindeer. Nick was really excited to pet them! The deer happened to be at a train shop nearby so the boys also had fun watching the trains and a couple of race cars zooming past! It doesn't get much better than that for a couple of young boys!

Christmas party

We attended Eric's Christmas party this year as a family for the first time. What a time it was! The boys had a blast running around and playing with all of the other kids there. For a small, brief moment, we were all sitting together waiting for dinner.

A visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus

The boys had an important visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus recently. They were all excited to see the big man in red and tell him all of their Christmas wishes. Mrs. Claus was also there to lend her hand with some cookie decorating. Nick and Sam also had some fun doing a few Christmas crafts.

First snowfall

We had our first official snowfall this past week- just under 1 inch of snow fell, just enough to make some snowballs and practice throwing them into the trees! Nick and Sam had a ball playing in the little snow that we had and are looking forward to lots more snow this winter!

Ben is 9 months old!

Ben's first year is flying by! He had his 9 month well doctor check-up this week. He now weighs 17.13 lbs and is 29 1/2 " long. He's tall and skinny! He started out as the largest of the Horn boys but has had to use a lot of calories trying to keep up with his 2 big brothers! He is just about ready to crawl as you can see by the picture. He has no problems getting around the room by rolling, pivoting and scootching. Crawling will just make getting around that much faster for him!
