Welcome to Paper City
Cole and Jay spent many, many hours one weekend creating Paper City in Cole's room. We managed to keep it standing for a few days, then big tornadoes, shaped like my feet, inadvertently cleared a path to the dresser.

Christmas 2012
The boys love decorating for Christmas! As soon as Thanksgiving is over, they're asking to get out the decorations. Actually, what they love is tearing through the storage bins, throwing things everywhere, then playing Legos while I place it all. Despite the chaos, it's fun to see their excitement.
Picking out the tree is always another chaotic adventure. The rows of neatly arranged trees look like a labyrinth that invites exploring. As soon as we enter, they begin chasing each other. To end the commotion before they crash into a person or tree, I quickly grab the closest one. This year I didn't realize until we got home that it had a distinct tilt to the right.
This was a year when the Moehn side of the family got together for Christmas in Arizona. The boys were excited to see their cousins again and everyone got along well. They especially liked playing with the babies.

Sunroom Progress
Workers were here the past couple days and we finally had progress on the sunroom! There was one surprise: water pipes in the roof of the jut out. No one could believe it was designed it that way. Now a plumber needs to move them above the ceiling in the family room so we can tear down the jut out. Another delay! We're still hoping to have the room done by Thanksgiving.
