Handsome Boys

It's Beginning to Look A lot like Christmas( one month late)

December was such a fun month!  We did  an activity every day... well, almost.  Lucky for me, my boys are still young enough to be excited about everything so it didn't take much to make them happy.  Here are a few pictures from the month

At Bass Pro Shop visiting Santa

(even though I didn't even take a picture of the boys with Santa)

 Side note: Jace seems to be in his PJs most days.  Third Child Syndrome strikes again!

Decorating the Tree

Family Party By the Tree 

The idea was to play a game, read books, make peppermint milk shakes and watch a movie by the tree.  It didn't really happen that way. A crazy two year old, crying baby and greek frozen yogurt instead of ice cream derailed things a bit.  Next year we will get it right!

Christmas Lights

  There is a street near our house that goes all out with lights.  It is so fun to go there ( along with the rest of the city) and look at the lights with a cup of hot chocolate in hand!

 Gingerbread Men

Ryan made a rocker, fireman, baseball player and a cowboy.  Creative little dude.

 Cookies with Christie and Grammy

First Day of Winter 

We hung snowflakes, ate powdered doughnuts and went pretend sledding.  Fun day!

Disneyland with Grammy

I haven't been brave enough to take my 3 kids ti Disneyland alone.  My sweet mom agreed to come with me so i could take the kids there during Christmas. We had a lot of fun. Disneyland is extra magical at Christmas!

Me and my sweet Luke on Winnie the Pooh

The boys with "Wreck-it" Ralph

This charcter would not leave Jace alone! She kept tryong to shove her sweatshirt string in his hands - or mouth.  not sure. either way it was creepy.

This was ryan's first time on splash mountain .. i thought this picture was hilarious because you cant't see his face but you can see the terror in his hands.  He said he will go on it again... after his mission.

My mom and boys. She doesn't even look close to being a grandma!

Ryan turns 5

Man oh Man does time ever fly.  I feel like Ryan was just born, but there he is;growing up and holding my third boy.  I could not have dreamed up a better first born.  Ryan is sweet, thoughtful, obedient, loving, funny , determined and fun to be around.  He really thinks about things and seems to understand quite a lot.  He is so helpful with the other two boys.  He loves to "babysit" Jace.  

I didn't feel up to planning a fancy party so i suggested to ry that we have a "late-over"  We had a few friends over at night and it was perfect!  We had dinner ( take out chick-fil-a) and then let them be boys. We made marshmallow shooters and set up a tent outside. Brett was the champion of the night and pretty much ran the whole show. 

Total Fun.

 I love my big boy more than words can say.
