33 weeks: Carolers and lights

We love doing Christmasy things around town. This week we went to see the Dickens carolers while we ate dessert at McMenamins.
Also, Miles is still coughing, but he is starting to move around a lot more... mobile baby coming soon! Yikes!
 Me and Reidsy at McMenamins
 Ruby and Andy enjoying the carolers
 They asked what Ruby's favorite Christmas song was, and she said "Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat." They were shocked and said that no one has ever requested that one, but it's one of their favorites! Haha. Then Reid requested "blue tractor," but I told him that's not an actual song, just one mom made up. So they sang Jingle Bells for him and this year he actually rang the bells.
 They were behind Miles and he kept trying to look back to see what in the world was going on.
 Ringing their bells.
 Mmmm... bread pudding and berry crumble.
 We stopped by a house that has a Christmas light walk through afterward. It was super cold! But really fun.
 They had fake snow coming down and Ruby loved it.
 Christmas baby!
 Scooting over to Reid's cars and tractors...
 We built a boat and a crane.
 I was cooking dinner, Miles was fussy, and Andy wasn't home yet. The kids were being so quiet... When I went to see what they were doing I found this. Ruby was taking a bath in Miles's tub and Reid was stark naked. Hahaha! They're so crazy.
 Ruby came up with some kind of science experiment.
 Miles likes to peek through his crib when he wakes up from a nap.
 Laundry basket buddies
 We've started working on some letters. He gets frustrated though and wants me to do it for him.
 I have lots of fun doing her hair.
 The boys and I met some friends at an indoor play park on Friday. Reid loved the bikes!
 Reid and William on the double bike.
 Miles is sitting up SO well!! He had fun playing with the baby toys.
 Reid found this convertible car he loved.
 Miles likes standing up (with help).
 Ruby was so tired at bedtime that she fell asleep during stories.
 We went out on a date to Star Wars! Patty watched all three kids again for us and they did great. Our mileage on our Accord turned to 111111 while we were out. :)
 And... nap time. He sure loves Mommy.
 The kids' cousin Penelope turned 2! We went to a little family party at their house on Saturday.
 They all loved the ball pit.
 Andy puts the big kids to bed every night while I put Miles to bed. It works out pretty well.
 We taught Sunday School for Ruby's class again. She's pretty good at Foos Ball! We put Miles in the nursery instead of bringing him in with us for the first time, and he did really well.
 Miles and his cousin Frances! They're so cute and about 8 weeks apart. He's quite a bit heavier than her.
 Kissing sister.
Reid tied his cars so they couldn't drive away apparently.
