The Days before Christmas

The boys made lots and lots of Christmas crafts

We visited the new Children's Museum -

Ben letting his inner artist out

It took Ben only 10 minutes after we arrived

at the museum to get lost from us - in this picture

we are on the 3rd level and he has made it to the 2nd level alone!

Lots and lots of Christmas crafts

We had to bring Otis to see the lights!

In this picture, Ben is very upset and crying because

we have to leave the firetruck and train! This is a

REAL picture of everyday life!

This is a picture diary of what the Hooks family has been up to these past few weeks. We are all ready for Christmas - I am ready because my kids are so wild right now due to the excitement! As I type, I am thinking about my birthday tomorrow - my family has always joked with me that my birthdays are a month-long celebration and no one's birthday is as special as Beth's! I guess that is what happens when you have a birthday so close to Christmas! Well, I don't know if it is the fact that I am getting old or that I have three kids, but birthdays have lost a lot of magic for me! I wouldn't trade it though - God has blessed me beyond measure!!
