Happy Holidays from the Kat Klan.

Sad Attempt

So we tried to build a gingerbread house...started off ok, but we gave up after our house and newborn were covered in frosting and Nerds.

Here is Oscar neatly organizing our candy...seems all good at this point. Hendrix helped by managing the situation.

We got our foundation built!

Ok, here is Mom's side of the house. We got a "K" in the roof and banana shingles.

And here is Oscar's "sucked" on Runt. He tried to place is strategically all over the house, but it is now landscaping.



Finally, Oscar's side of the house. Look at all the candy everywhere!!! Maybe we will finish this thing, but it maybe be bird food soon.

Finally, a reason to have 2 kids.

Ah, Oscar is officially trained to take care of Hendrix.

He charges $10 an hour, changes diapers, feeds babies and entertains them.

I also wanted to post Oscar & Andy's gingerbread man they made at an event in downtown Hinsdale.

Please notice.
1. Andy's gum on the side of the plate.
2. The gingerbread man is missing a leg, because Andy took a bite then remembered I told him to take pictures!

And finally, an updated picture of Hendrix.

Today he is 5 weeks old...and I am guessing 11 pounds.

Early Christmas Present....

Of course Dad has to buy and give presents before Christmas. He bought the boys a train to go around the Christmas tree, but we like it better in the middle of our living room. We figured out how to make it smoke....so much it sets off our fire alarm. And, we can't figure out how to turn down the volume...so you can hear it in the garage it is so loud. Perfect, smoke and noise for a one month old! Mom is so excited!!!!

Thanks that is it OVER!

Was Thanksgiving weekend the longest weekend of Hendrix's life....uh yes. We are happy the festivities are over, but now the Christmas craziness has begun.

Here are some pics from Thanksgiving

Here is Oscar monitoring his cousin Matt feeding his bro.

And we are wondering if people make money playing the piano, we were banking on this kid being "the athlete."

And here is the Kat Klan at Thanksgiving.

O & H hanging and watching tv and ignoring everyone.....on our "free" day Friday.
