Only one more week till Christmas. Jake and Tyler are excited but it has been hard to be really good for a whole month. Their elf Clyde even stayed at the North Pole for a couple days because the boys weren't listening very well. He wrote them a note saying he is going to give them one more chance and I'll have to say their behavior has improved after that. We went with friends to the candy cane lane neighborhood this week. Just about every house in the neighborhood goes over the top decorating their house. Grandma Gretchen flew in Friday. Kristin immediately put her to work wrapping presents. She watched both boys play soccer this weekend. Below is the picture the boys took with Santa and our family pictures we took a couple weeks ago.
