December

I am not sure where December went, but I will try to provide a little update through pictures.  Of course we started December off looking for the perfect Christmas tree! 

Searching for the perfect tree!

We found it!

Once we got the tree home it was time to decorate it.  The only help I got was from Kellan.  Thanks buddy!

Braydon did want to wear his Santa hat off course

Finally came some snow.  The boys all headed outside and had a blast.

Excited to finally be outside!

Of course I made the boys help me make Christmas cookies.  They both got to stir up their own batch...they helped make them from scratch, cut them out and of course frost and sprinkle.  The hardest part is telling them they can't eat the dough until we are all done (they are definitely my children)!

more sprinkles!

We also got to celebrate Great Grandma Dar's birthday.

After visiting Great Grandma Dar we ran into Santa Claus in the hallway.  Both boys were really excited to see him, but Braydon pushed Kellan in front of him to go talk to him.  Kellan of course jumped right into his arms and told him what we wanted (we are not sure what he asked for, but he told him something). Braydon told Santa from a safe distance what he wanted.

This year Braydon had a Christmas Program at his school.  He was pretty excited.  He knows all about the Christmas story and baby Jesus.  They even sang some songs and Braydon was more than a willing participant.

The weekend before Christmas we got to have Charlie and Tyson spend all day with us!  We had a lot of fun playing with them and Braydon loved having his cousins have a "sleep over" at our house. The Monday before Christmas we headed to Bass Pro shop for something to do.  We took the kids bowling, they had a blast!  Braydon and Kellan have never gone before, but they picked it up quickly.  Tyson and Charlie of course are old pros!  We even got to sit on Santa's lap one more time to make sure he knew exactly what they wanted!
