Christmas at the Zoo

For Andrew's birthday, we went to the zoo to see all the lights. It was perfect night to go - not too cold!! The boys loved all the lights!

Happy 3rd Birthday Andrew!

Andrew's construction party was a hit! We had pizza, firetruck and truck jello jigglers, salad, cake, and ice cream. It was definitely all his favorite foods! Both our sets of parents were able to come up and join us. Can you tell he had fun?

Grandma and Andrew

WHEE-OOH WHEE-OOH!!!

For Andrew's 3rd birthday, Grandpa (and Grandma) made him a firetruck big boy bed. He LOVES it!! He was pretty excited and asked throughout the night, "Can I sleep in it tonight?" It was pretty cute! After Grandpa showed him his wheel drawers, he immediately started filling them with toys.

There is a removable ladder but Andrew prefers just to jump out the window!

Oh Christmas Tree....

After bundling up, we went to pick out our tree. There were some disagreements about which one to get but we finally settled on one. Now that we've had it a week, I can say that we picked poorly.... it has fallen down twice and broken ornaments both times. Right now, it is sitting in the kitchen leaning against the wall.....We did have fun decorating it though!

The boys loved putting the ornaments on. When they hung them on the tree, they tended to hang in groups. This is an example of the Snoopy ones. There were about 7 ornaments all in the same area. It was pretty funny!

Bob and Larry

We all went to the Matthew West concert last weekend. Bob and Larry made a guest appearance. The boys loved them! Andrew kept going up to them poking and hugging them. It was hilarious!! He wouldn't leave them alone!! It was great to see Matthew too (we went to college with him). We got a chance to visit for awhile after the concert. The boys got to bed about 11:30 but we all had a great time!

hug me, Bob

We love Larry!

Will's Christmas Program

Will's school program was great. He is quite the singer!! His teacher says that he and another girl in his class are the best singers and love singing!
