Setting up the tree apparently entails work gloves for n. because the branches are pokey...

P. had to be a fix-it man with his tools...

and his work goggles (he takes it all very seriously)

This little guy is always cuddling and sleeping on me...

We went to Bethlehem Revisited in Waxahachie so that the boys could really get a sense of what it was like when Jesus was born...

Chowing down on his toys...

Seeing Santa--N. asked for a bunch of legos and P. for a bear costume...

Seeing the big tree...

E. discovered his toes...

These boys are my walking buddies or should I say were--my knees have been acting up and then I got a stress fracture in my foot this week, so it's time for a break even though I really enjoyed starting my day with walking, taylor swift music in one ear, and getting outside.

My reindeer--we saw these at dollar tree-- a two pack for $1 and couldn't resist--we surprised N. when we picked him up from school with them one(even I was wearing them, and probably looked silly in carpool line)

Tummy time and a big wide open mouth...

Our tree and matching winter jammies...

Playing baseball with daddy--notice N.'s reindeer antlers...

P. is constantly playing farm, rearranging people, fences, tractors, and always talking the whole time...my living room has been turned into one big farm!

More toes--they sure are delish...

Making white chocolate snack mix to give to teachers and friends..these boys of mine are silly...

P.'s 1st preschool program--he was a Rudolph, and he did so good.  He was a bit shy, but did the movements and sang the words.  We even pulled N. out of school, because he really wanted to watch him!

Christmas party after his program...

N.'s Christmas party was the next day, and P. joined right in!

We were invited to go on a hay ride to see Christmas lights and have hot cocoa--and it was a BLAST!  We sang Christmas carols, laughed, saw lots of lights, got pulled by a big tractor(P.'s fave)!  Thanks Kearney's for an amazing time!

Oma had us come over a few days before christmas to make cookies and decorate a Christmas cake--N.'s proud of his work...

Oma gave them headlamps and they played games in the dark!
