Before we left the house, Beck asked me to take a picture of him which is almost unheard of these days so I ecstatically snapped a picture of this sweet little boy.
We've had so much planned lately that we have not been to Lowe's in forever. Today, the kids are making Santa's sleigh from the movie Rise of the Guardians and it turned out really cute. Brent helped Beck and I helped Kinsey. She loved hammering the nails in the wood. Ouch! Mommy got hit a few times but it was all worth it to see both of them flying Santa's sleigh as we were walking out of the store.
But, before leaving the store, we had to look at the Christmas decorations and Beck told us what we needed to get. Beck absolutely loves looking at Christmas decorations! We also looked at the live Christmas trees and they sure do look pretty. The live ones scare me though because I'm afraid they will catch on fire plus they do make a mess as the needles fall off and they don't come pre-lit like ours.
We ate lunch at the mall then played video games which is another thing we haven't done in a while. The one thing that made us laugh the most was watching Beck play a race car game. He was laughing so hard when he crashed! And, I noticed that as Daddy was pushing the gas peddle, Beck was pushing the brake peddle. Ha! We also got little trinkets from the tickets Daddy won from playing one of the games.
Beck's class picture was in today's Gilmer Mirror for winning first place for the Yam Decorating Contest.
Beck had to dress up for church today because the primary department put on a full presentation during the sacrament meeting. It was the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Beck had to stand at the podium and say, "I will teach others the gospel." and he did it so well! I was up there with him and I was so nervous for him that I didn't get a video of it. He also stood up a couple of times to sing but I never saw him sing. However, he did have his faithful friend, Optimus Prime Rescue Bot, with him.
It's been our tradition to put up the Christmas decorations the weekend before Thanksgiving so that's what we did...Beck decorated his tree and Kinsey decorated her tree and they both helped me decorate the big tree in the living room. Another tradition that we started after Beck was born is that we buy an ornament for their trees and it was cute to watch Beck remember last year's ornament which was a robot.
We also have four blow-ups in the front yard...feel free to drive by if you are in the area.
