So while Steve is away in Korea, the kids and I have decided to start Christmas preparations. This includes setting the lights up on the tree. With their help. Did you know that you can stand on, sit on, and drive your riding toy over Christmas lights on a hardwood floor - and they still survive? Thank you Louise for teaching us something new :)

Lou has got quite a few new words now, and has started singing to songs in the car, much to her brother's annoyance. He's busy soloing, and trying to hear all of the words - and surprise - is singing in key :)
