Did you recognize the song? The boys know that one inside and out...more on that in a minute. I can't believe tomorrow is the last day of 2011. This year has zipped by! Since our last post, we've had lots of Christmas fun. We went to the Festival of Lights at the Cincinnati Zoo when it was super warm earlier this month, did a tremendous amount of baking (2 kinds of truffles, caramels, peppermint patties, chocolate covered caramels, cake balls, almond butter blossoms and more I'm sure), wrapped presents and sang A LOT of songs! (for reference, 4 and 2 year old boys can sing for hours---even singing the same song again and again and again)
We celebrated Christmas several times this week, and sang songs and shared goodies with our neighbors. Yep, we took the kids around on Christmas Eve to leave bags of goodies on many door steps and singing a song for anyone who was home. I think we brightened the days of many on our street! (their favorites were Jingle Bells with the new bell from Uncle Mike & Aunt Andrea, Rudolph, Frosty, & The Little Pinetree)
With Gramie & Granpy Huber here for 12 days, we had lots of fun playing etc. We went back to the Festival of Lights. We also went to the trains at the Children's Museum (twice) and also to the Krohn Conservatory train display. Luckily, most of our shopping was done before December started so we were able to do all of this family stuff and not have to worry about shopping. :) It was truly magical to see the spirit of Christmas from the eyes of our boys this year!
On a non-Holiday related noted, we just got some reassuring news from Nathan's allergist. He still has a peanut allergy but his numbers are significantly down from last year. We're hopeful that he will outgrow this allergy in a few years and in the meantime, keep plugging away at educating ourselves and others to keep him safe!
From our family to yours, we hope you had a blessed holiday and a wonderful 2012!
Love, The Huber Family
