Together in the same house on the same day.

 

Equals...

 

Lots of pictures!

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!

Halloween Fun!

I figure I better post my Halloween pictures before it's officially Thanksgiving tomorrow!  The construction workers had a great time trick-or-treating with friends.  Each year, we trick-or-treat with our playgroup friends!  Each year, we have more and more fun!  This year, Maddy Pebbles was running around too!

I sure hope Caydin wants to be something other than a construction worker next year.  I running out of outfit ideas!

Silly Pics

We always seem to have fun around here! Caydin had a crazy sock day at school this week so Wyatt needed to where crazy socks too! He wanted to take a picture of me.... while I took a picture of him!

Then it was crazy hat day.  Of course Mr. Wyatt had to get in on that fun too!

 

This week, we participated in a "Trunk or Treat" near our school.  Caydin had a lot of fun passing out candy.  I dressed up like a dog from 101 Dalmatians.  

Weekend chores for the win! Caydin was worried about slipping so he got his pair of hospital socks!

A visit to the Pumpkin Patch!

A few weekends ago, we headed over to the Pumpkin Patch for pictures, pumpkins, and a horseback ride!

Of course the occasion called for matching shirts!

No one was really interested in taking pictures... but I managed to get a few good ones.

Wyatt was really excited about horseback riding.  We got in line... waited a few minutes.  Then he saw the little kid playgroup area.  After that, he refused to even consider riding the horse. 

Oh well... maybe next year!

Caydin loved his horseback ride! He asked all kinds of questions about his horse and even asked about the horse he rode last year (the horse with one eye!)

I'm pretty sure that was he favorite part of the whole day!
