It's also dress crazy day at Emma's school.

Ellie, one to never miss a dress crazy day, is also ready for a great day!

Go tell it on a Mountain!



Outside of birthday fun, not much has been posted on our Building With the Baums Blog. It's not a lack of great things to record though. Quite the contrary! It's been the total drain of energy and constant feeling of seasickness that has had me down. Yes, yes Baby #3 is on the way! We are over the moon!

Christmas Break!

Christmas break has started and we are loving having time off together!

So far we've.....
Built a house on the couch, after they arrived in the living room on their horses (dining room chairs make the best horses!).


Made cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning.

Enjoyed a holiday program at the symphony, complete with Santa and a sing along.

Bundled up and searched for ice in the backyard!

Baked cookies...

and more cookies.

Read lots of Christmas stories, listened to Christmas music until we've heard every song at least 50 times, eaten too many of those Christmas cookies, discovered the silliness of Santa Clause 3, which prompted us to purchase the Santa Clause box set, which means that after I finish this, we'll be watching Santa Clause 2 ...we're watching them backwards. I love Christmas break!

A day well spent.








A wonderful family movie night was made complete with an introduction by Emma (using a paintbrush as a microphone) squeals of laughter from both girls and lots of nail biting and hiding of eyes by Emma.





We began the morning with our annual Teddy Bear Tea. Another fantastic year full of treats, face painting, singing, Santa, stories and best of all, time together.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!
