The excitement in his face as he opens his Pottery Barn chair

Parker likes his new rocking chair

This is how the boys think that a wheel barrow is used!  This looks dangerous!

They love their new chairs!!

We had such a wonderful Christmas!! We enjoyed our little family time this morning as we opened family presents.  Then, Mimi, Papa, Brooks, Rochelle, Aunt Tori, Uncle Rodney, Sam, and Nathaniel all joined us for a fantastic turkey dinner and more presents!  Man, our boys are so blessed!!!! 

"Buddy Didn't Do This At Our Old House"

The first morning that he came

Buddy, that doesn't look very safe!

How did he get in there?

He built a snowman!

Yup, he turned our milk green!

That's what Pax said about Buddy's hiding spots this year!  He DID have some really good places to keep an eye on the boys!  He was also found in the playroom having a meeting with several Batmen, he wrote on the bathroom mirror, and he built a house out of legos just to name a few!

On Christmas Eve, we went to church and then came home and enjoyed a Swedish dinner followed by a visit from Santa.  It was a long night full of family and an abundance of gifts!  Fun, fun times!!!

B's Christmas Dinner 2012

The Berry girls came to our house for our annual Christmas dinner.  Brad cooked a yummy turkey dinner for us, and we had some great girl time! 

Sikes Christmas Party

He worked very diligently on his house!

Cloi hanging out with us as the boys model their new haircuts!

Wow!  Didn't know they could all 3 fit in there!!

Grandma went to Pax's PJ Christmas party at Sikes and then took both boys to see Santa (still in their really cute jammies).  They both did well---no tears, even though Parker looked like he might fall asleep in Santa's arms!!!!

This was FUNNY!!

They loved this one!

Shovel the Snow--Fun!!

Their biography projects ROCKED!

We did Minute to Win it: Snowman Edition in my class for Winter Blast.  It was a lot of fun, and I think everyone was sick of marshmallows!  Our favorite game was Face the Cookie!  Alec got it in 14 seconds!!  We had to try that game out a couple times! 

Uncle Pat and His Boys

The Greba's came to Mom's house for dinner on December 18.  Ashleigh caught these pictures of the boys and Uncle Pat looking at the Christmas lights!  They sure do love Uncle Pat!!
