Christmas Movies

Dustin came up with the fun idea of doing a Christmas "movie" every night after bath/before bed this week.  So here's the boys tonight snuggled in watching "A Charlie Brown Christmas"

Merry Christmas!

Cheese!

My handsome boys

Techy boys

Growin'

Happy Birthday Dad

Last Saturday (12/3) was Dad's birthday.  We all got together for a nice supper out.


Breakfast with Santa

Our church had a breakfast with Santa again this year.  The boys both had a blast.
 Yummy Pancakes!
 The Big Guy has arrived!
 Playing a ring toss game
 Dustin helped Nathan make his frame
 Connor enjoying a sucker he got from another game
 Nathan chatting with Santa (that's as close as Connor would get!)  
 I was really hoping to get a picture of them together in their cute sweaters.  Here, they were too busy eating/drinking. :)
 Making shrinky dink ornaments
 He wouldn't go anywhere near Santa, but he did say, "Thank you" for the candy cane. :)
 Eating candy canes and checking out the nativity
Cheese!

Dinosaur Cookies

Nathan got some dinosaur cookie cutters for his birthday.  So of course, we had to make some dinosaur cookies this week!

Christmas trees

 Using cotton balls to paint Christmas tree shapes
Nathan decorating his tree.  Connor was done sitting at this point. :)

First Snow

So it started snowing and Nathan desperately wanted to go out and play in it.  So, we did. :)
 Nathan really wanted to wear his new snow pants.  We told him there wasn't that much snow and that he'd be ok in regular pants.  So, of course, the first thing he does is lay down in the snow. :)


Little elves

Happy Birthday and Thanksgiving!

Just a few pictures from today because they were uploading rather slowly.
 The birthday boy.  Can you believe he's 4?

 The boys' table.  Neither ended up actually eating there.  Nathan wanted to sit by Grandma and Connor was too sleepy to sit still.
 Fun with Aunt Meg


Yummy!

More prep

 More crafty fun.  Using Q-Tips to make Indian Corn

 Nathan's the official egg breaker
Finishing up the birthday cake!

Thanksgiving Prep

 Mixing up some self hardening clay for some Thanksgiving table decorations!
 Stir, stir, stir
 Kneading the dough

Our finished creations.  A turkey, pumpkin, and Pilgrim hat.  When they finally dried we painted them too.

We're growing

So we've been taking a picture of me every 4 weeks like we did with both boys.  This was the latest one.  I was 24 weeks when we took it. (26 weeks now!).

Birthday Boy

My baby boy is 2 today. :)  He had a fun "Cars" themed day.  


 Cars 2!
 The #2 train, Edward.

 Fun new car launcher
 Cheese!
 Best picture of the day. :)
 Mmm, cake and ice cream!
We ended the evening with popcorn and a showing of Cars 2.
