Brewery Lights

We went to the Brewery Lights at Anheuser Busch last night.  There was sand sculptures, ice skating, sample tents, hot coco, popcorn and we even saw the Clydesdales.  The boys especially liked the ice skating and mommy and daddy especially liked the free samples.  It was a fun night enjoying the Christmas season.

I know it's blurry but I love this picture of Will.

Christmas

The day before Christmas Eve, Fred (our elf) moved our artificial tree from downstairs to upstairs so that Santa could leave presents under the tree instead of just in front of the fireplace.  (Since we had to take our other tree down.)  The boys were super excited that Fred did this.  On Christmas Eve we went to Grandma Sue's then Grandma and Papa Hackmann's.  Christmas Eve night was a rough night.  It took a while for the boys to go to sleep and then Will kept waking up super hot and we were afraid he was getting sick.  Luckily he was fine!  Cabo was more excited than the boys and didn't sleep, AT ALL.  At 4 am Levi and Will came running in our room saying "Santa Came!"  We had to make them go back to sleep.  We were able to hold them off until about 6:45!  Christmas morning after opening presents the grandparents came over for our traditional breakfast.  We then headed over to GG's for Christmas dinner.  It was a very nice Christmas.

Old House

Well the time has finally come that we have taken down the old house at the barn to prepare for building our new house.  We still need to bring in a lot of dirt, but we are making progress and hopefully will start building in 2017!

St. Nick and Random December Photos

St. Nick came and brought the boys Christmas jammies, slippers and a Lego Advent Calendar.  The boys love the Advent Calendar and building a new Lego every day.  We have also had a very busy and rough December.  Will has been having allergies so bad that he has been wheezing and has had to have asthma treatments.  Needless to say we had to put our beautiful tree outside as we think it might be triggering the allergies.  We probably have more pictures of this tree than any other tree because we made sure to take pictures before we took it down!

Korte Christmas

We had a family Christmas this past weekend where Santa came for a visit.  Levi even got to play "Up on the Housetop" on the piano for Santa.  It was a fun day and a good start to Christmas.
