Merry Christmas!

Reindeer Cookies

Today we made Christmas cookies for Shea's office. Only one of my Christmas tree cookies actually turned out to look like a christmas tree. The others just look like big blobs with colored m&ms. At the least the reindeer turned out. Being in the apt without my stuff makes baking a little challenging, so we go for whatever is easiest. W liked the icing as you can tell from it being all over his face!

Crazy Sunday Afternoons

This is what our afternoons are like sometimes! Crazy hair on W and T wondering if W is about to pounce on him.

Super Reader to the Rescue!

If you can't tell, we have quite the imaginary child on our hands. Of course being in this tiny apt forces a child to use his imagination frequently. W was pretending he was a Super Reader (his favorite PBS cartoon at the moment). Who needs toys?!? Just a bath towel and a plastic shield is all you need.

Rudolph in Real Life

Will and Tyler pose for a picture next to the many reindeer we see almost daily at the shopping center down the street from our apartment. They have these things all over the place sitting on benches and standing on columns.

Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!

Even though we are away from home this Christmas, we weren't going to let that spoil our holiday. We went out and bought a little tree last night. Will and I had been busy all week making decorations for it (thank goodness for foamie kits). Will had a lot of fun making the angel for the top and all the snowmen. He was really good at stringing all the snowflakes for the garland. What a memorable year for us with this little homemade tree. At least this year we don't have to worry about the cat getting in the tree and knocking it down!

Mr. "Happy Go Lucky"

With all the change, T has been such a happy, easy-going baby.

Fun on the Farm

The boys and I just got back from visiting both sets of grandparents. W had a blast riding the tractor, 4-wheeler and easy-go and seeing all the cows with his PawPaw. He had a good time playing with all his cousins. He learned to make obscene noises with his armpit thanks to his cousin Christian. Boys!

Back in NLR, W had a blast in Nana's toy-filled sunroom. The boy has never played by himself so much. I think we all had a good time just being out of the cramped apartment life for an entire week.
