Updating amongst chaos

Not sure how long this will be, as Addie and Ben throw a ball to one another, with the actual goal of  "bouncing it off your noggin."

Addie and Ben both LOVE Christmas music (which isn't shocking for those of you who know me in real life; I mean genes account for somethings right?).  Their favorite right now is "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas."  Something about that song makes them march around like nuts.  
Addie's favorite movie for the week I was in Houston was Tinkerbell.  It's an ADORABLE movie.  Ben loved it too.  
Tinkerbell was the favorite until I unearthed our copy of Elf, the Will Ferrell movie.  Addie now loves "Buddy" and has watched it every night.  Luckily for her, Brian thinks it's hysterical and very willingly cuddles up with her to watch it.  We all still laugh at certain parts.
Ben has been doing some very cute things.  He's such a little love, in general.  Each night we've also been building towers from the Big Legos he got for his birthday.  He's known for his love of knocking over towers with reckless abandon.  However, the times when the tower falls over on its own make him put his hands on his hips and exclaim, "Oh my!"  It's very funny and cute how he says it.  
We had our first snow this week too.  We had about an inch on the ground when we left for work and daycare.  It was basically Ben's first snow.  Last year we had one snow, and that was it.  If you recall from my blog, we didn't even have sleds so the kids used ghetto cookie sheets to slide down the hill.  We ran out that night to get sleds and never needed them.  Hopefully this year we'll get snow on days we can play in it.  Both were infatuated with the snow. 
Ben loves to wear his winter hat and mittens.  In fact as daycare he doesn't want to take them off.
Ok, wild ball throwing is getting rough....
