December 1-23

My boys!


Toddler loves wearing glasses to be like big brother! So fun that someone had given us these a little while ago.
Running around in costumes.


Toddler is amazing at Game Night. He thinks he's one of the big kids.


One day our oldest did something that wasn't wise. I calmly talked with him about it and was actually feeling pretty awesome about how I handled it. I can only guess what he thought, but I assume I must have effectively conveyed the reality of it and it didn't make him feel good. So, he went upstairs and wrote me this note. He didn't ever actually give this note to me, but it was suspicious when he went upstairs, so I took a peek later. It made me laugh a little, since I knew it wasn't because I'd overreacted or mishandled anything.
But ... the very next day we did Christmas cards and he wrote this to his teacher. And then I did feel sad.


1st grader saw this in the neighborhood, while on the bus. We love Cookies Monster and had to check it out!


Christmas train displays at the local fire station and train museum.


As if Christmas lights aren't amazing enough, toddler was super excited to see them through snowman glasses :)


Making cards and gifts for friends and sunbeam teachers. 1st born did snowflake ornaments and 2nd born did candy canes.




And the tree is complete.

My sister's family ♥ was here for that, and also for making snowflake ornaments and playing some Riddle Moo This.


The 23rd we went to my cousin's for a Christmas sing-along. The older boys both played and I have video, but I still haven't yet decided if/how to share videos here. It was really fun to see them play for it, they did great!

November

Our oldest, composing music & losing teeth.


After school, reading littlest brother the book he brought home from the library.


Our pirate!


The piano is all set up for our preschooler.
Pre-K field trip to the EC Train Museum.


He's getting more interested in drawing/writing and it's fun :)


Grab a book!


Everyone knows sharing the pacifier is the highest kind of love and care you can receive from a toddler.
Not feeling great. But curled up on the couch with mom & pomegranates.


Cutie.


Preschooler is pretty good at making the rhythms from all big brother's songs.


Thanksgiving at my parents home with a little piano and hangman.


Glasses

Mid-November I took preschooler to get some glasses. As we walked out of the store he said everything looked far away. It was a special day and I think he enjoyed getting his picture taken when we got home. He's a handsome little guy with a great smile!

2 Years!!

We loved celebrating our youngest's birthday! We had his party at my parents' home and he had a blast! ♥ ♥ ♥


He loves animals!


Even when we had leftovers he had sheep (I made 3 of each animal), they must have been his favorite.
He gobbled up the ice cream too :)


The day after his birthday, and with our preschooler's help, I took a few photos of our cute little guy ♥
