We are getting ready for Christmas. This year we are going to Ohio. I have sent all the presents to my family already, it feels good to almost be done with the gift giving part. Scott and Iris got to be part of a cousin gift exchange for my side of the family, they have no cousins on Jeff’s side of the family (we are waiting for Brian and Stacy to have a couple). He was so excited when I told him we could go to Target and pick out a toy for cousin Danielle and Christian. Iris was just happy to be along for the ride.
This last week Iris has decided that she can stay up as late as Scott does. Before this week Iris would go to bed at 7pm and then we would put Scott to bed at 8 or 8:30. Scott would then stay up and play in his bed until 10pm (he reads books and talks to himself). Iris would always sleep through Scott’s loud noises, up until last week. I don’t know what to do. She doesn’t wake up and cry, she wakes up and plays. I think Scott really enjoys it. We often hear her laughing at Scott. Maybe it is just a phase? At least they are in their room instead of running around the house. Last night was the worst, they didn’t go to bed until 11pm. Jeff and I were in bed wondering when they would quite down so that we could go to sleep. The joys of a having a small family in an even smaller apartment!
Scott has been learning how to take pictures with the camera and to my surprise some of the pictures actually turn out. I will post some of the ones that he took.
Jeff and Scott went to the train store to see if they could get Grandpa Anderson's train fixed. Scott loves trains, but he had to sit through a boring adult conversation before he could go around the store and see all the trains (see first picture). 
The three pictures above Scott took by himself. The first is a close-up of the Christmas tree, the second is his foot, and the last is Iris.
Iris, even though she is a girl, wears a lot of Scott's old PJ's, she doesn't seem to mind!
