Simple loves

Its been a nice weekend. The temperatures are getting cooler and we are enjoying it very much! On Friday mornings, Caleb usually goes with me to the grocery store, bakery, and butcher, and Nathan and Benjamin take construction walks or do projects around the house. Benjamin loves construction vehicles and it looks like they found some big ones.

 Just hanging out at our nursery at the base of our 'mountain.'

Whats the best treat after a walk? A kinder egg!

If you know our boys, you know they like to typically sleep in 'pants with no shirt.' Well, our house is cold and they sleep in footed onesies without a fight these days!

Though Benjamin still likes to play with his train tracks in his underwear.

He has become quite the train track builder!

The boys got new Christmas lights, their old ones broke. They were pretty excited for this surprise.

On Friday afternoon, we went to the 'Up Down' park to play. It is really called the Martyrs park, but we call it this because there are two parks, one on top and one below.

This is the down park, near sunset.

They like the superfast slide!

They got an early Christmas gift from Great Aunt Eileen that will be perfect for our trip to Petra and Wadi Rum with Nathan's cousins, to hike and camp next week!

They loved their matching outfits. Look at these goofy smiles!

We finished the evening by baking a mound of cookies for a cookie party we attended today.

And I made a delicious pomelo, pomegranate, and feta cheese salad with dinner.

Today was, cookie party day! I'm glad I made the boys eat lunch before we went. I can't imagine how many more cookies would have been consumed if their bellies were not slightly full. 

Everything was delicious and it was fun to see friends and their families.

After the party, more train track building. Ben asked if we could put this on the blog :).

And what I love most. Hearing Nathan play guitar and Benjamin singing along to Down by the River to Pray.

Enjoying our family and this time of year!
