This is a solar oven that my mom bought while they were out here. My mom made banana bread in it in my backyard. We just used a regular banana bread recipe and loaf pan. It was so cool to see it work and you could smell the bread cooking. It tasted great. Just like you had cooked it in a real oven.
My parents came out to visit for a while and we went up to my brother's house in Idaho for a few days. We had a really good visit that didn't last long enough. The kids made cookies together. Which they loved. It was sugar cookie dough that was colored and the kids used it like playdoh. Then you bake them and they keep the shape. We also went to a science museum.
We took the boys out to breakfast this morning and then we told them we had a surprise for them. We took them to the Dinosaur Museum. They loved it. We watched a movie in 3D in the Imax theatre. Sean kept telling the dinosaur's to go away. He didn't like it to much. They had a lot of interactive activities to do and we had a great time. They also got to make their own castings of a T-Rex tooth and a Raptor claw.

Here's a few pictures from Christmas. Some are from Christmas Eve and some are from Christmas morning. We opened our presents from my family on Christmas Eve. We just couldn't wait anymore. :) We had a great Christmas and the boys were spoiled as usual.

We put up our tree last night. We made the chain around the tree. That was Mason's idea. They did a good job decorating it. I didn't have to move to much stuff around.
We made these little house's over Thanksgiving weekend. The boys have been begging to make gingerbread houses, but I wouldn't let them until after Thanksgiving. They ate more candy then they used on their houses. :)
