Christmas Fun!

We had fun taking pictures of the kids while visiting Santa.

 One evening we headed over to Celebration for some fun in the "snow" (which was really just soap bubbles).  Wyatt LOVED LOVED LOVED it.  He and Caydin took off running all over the street.  I'm pretty sure Wyatt did some "snow" angels.  Maddy wasn't so sure of it.  She didn't want the "snow" to touch her at all. 

The kids thought it was great when the snow started to fall.  After getting all bubbly and getting somewhat cleaned off, we rode the train and looked at Christmas lights.  Not as fun as it could of been (people in Celebration need to decorate with MORE Christmas lights!) but the kids liked it! 

Lego Boys

Hooray for new toys!

Caydin got a small lego set for Christmas. 

He did an awesome job of following the directions in the manual and building the set by himself. 

Wyatt helped by building the lego man. 

Great job boys!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was full of laughter and screaming!

I guess that's what happens when you have a 6 year old, two 3 year olds, and a one year old in the house!

We got together for lots of play time with cousins. 

Dinner was wonderful too! A HUGE roast!

We were smart and fed the kids early so we could eat without screaming kids!  Thank you Frozen movie for keeping the kids occupied for a few times!

Then it was time for pictures! 

We opened our pajama boxes and got a few goodies from Grandma/Grandpa!

We fed the reindeer and Santa. 

After baths, more pictures were taken. 

Finally BED!  Everyone was excited for Santa to come!

 

 

A visit to Santa!

We were all smiles for Santa this year! Thank God!

This was also the first year that both boys actually had a conversation with Santa about their wishes.  I wasn't surprised by their requests though!

Caydin asked for excavators.

Wyatt asked for trains.

 

I was just thankful that I didn't have to sit in the picture with them! ;)

 

It's been a busy month! {December Update!}

I get reminded often that my blogs have been pretty much non-existent lately!  We've been so busy!

Here is a re-cap of December so far!

 

Caydin lost a tooth! (His 3rd tooth!)

Wyatt has been going non-stop! He laughs one minute and is crying the next.  He exhausts us all!

Elf has been staying at our house.  The boys are really enjoying him.  I am the worst at remembering to move him every night.  But I figure it just makes the nights when he does move extra surprise... and the boys don't seem to mind so it's all good!

We've been riding lions.  And getting quite good at it.

We've all been sick.  Wyatt got it the worst.  He had a stomach bug one day and got a cold the next.  The rest of us have just had colds.

Caydin got to attend a special holiday party at school for being a great AR reader.  It was also pajama day.  He loved it all!

Church Sundays are happening these days! Wyatt cried the first few times he went but it loving it now!  Caydin is having a great time too!
