Christmas Morning

The boys woke up early Christmas morning. Fortunately, they waited until 6:45 to get us up. Will said that he woke up at 5 something waiting for 7 to roll around! The boys were so excited about their presents and that Santa left them a note!

my little Jedi's!

Andrew got the Lego fire station

Will got the Lego airport

We had a quiet day at home. It was nice and relaxing....we actually didn't even get out of our pj's. We built Lego's just about all day and then went and looked at Christmas lights at night.

Merry Christmas!

We are very thankful this year for many things. We are so blessed! Thank you Jesus for coming into this world as a baby to save us!

Christmas #1

We went up to my parents the week before Christmas to celebrate with them. It was a VERY short visit but still great! The boys got many nice gifts! I'm sure they will be busy with new toys and games for a while!

all the kids with presents!!

Happy 4th Birthday, Andrew!

Andrew's birthday was full of relaxation and fun! Will ended up having a snow day so they boys had a pj morning. We went to Incredible Pizza that night and had some fun playing games and having pizza.

Another example of Andrew's faces....

We got him a Lego camera. He loves it and has filled up the camera (about 60 pictures) before the night was over. He ended up deleting some and filling it up again.

We decorated cupcakes for dessert. Yummy!!

Oh my, what beautiful cupcakes!

Andrew's 4th Birthday Party

What a great birthday party we had! Andrew was so happy all day and loved getting to choose everything for his party! He picked (of course) pizza and jello jigglers to eat for lunch. He wanted to have a Toy Story day too!

We made him an alien cake. He loved it!!

He is into silly faces lately - here is one example!

Andrew got lots of great gifts for his birthday. He got a Leapster (that he would play all day if I let him), Legos, and a Spiderman car.

My Dad made him this table with 2 stools that he could put in his room to build Legos on. He loves it!

Andrew's School Party

I went to Andrew's preschool for his Christmas party. Since his birthday was a few days later, he got a birthday crown and everyone sang to him. He loved being the center of attention.

Andrew enjoyed his cupcake...can you tell???

Will's Reading

Will is learning so much in school this year. I am amazed at how well he is doing and how much he is enjoying it. I still can't believe my 5 year old is learning to read. It is so neat!

They had carriage rides - it was pretty chilly but neat with snow falling!

Saturday night, Santa and Mrs. Claus came to visit. They had the elf band singing and playing instruments. It was so neat that I had tears in my eyes seeing the boys and how excited they were. I love this picture of Andrew...

my 2 little wolves!

The boys were excited to see Santa. When Santa asked what they wanted for Christmas, they both responded "every Lego set."

Great Wolf Lodge

We went to Great Wolf Lodge last weekend and had an incredible time! The first day the boys were pretty scared and only went on the little slides but they got better as the weekend went on. It was their Winter Wonderland weekend so they had some really neat things all weekend long.

They had story time at night. They boys went down in their pj's and listened to the stories and songs.

Because of the Winter Wonderland, it started "snowing" inside after story time. They boys thought it was so cool and they tried catching snowflakes!

Will's favorite thing was the lily pads - he usually crawled over them.

Andrew loved all the splash things!

He also like the little slide!
