Merry Christmas!

Cold Rainy Days

This is what we do on cold, rainy days. I move my car in the driveway and let the boys have full range of the garage. They LOVE it! They play in the sandbox, fight, ride bikes, fight, ride the cozy coupe, fight and play baseball, and fight some more. I just leave the door to the garage open and clean my kitchen and get some things done. It's a win win situation!

Climb up on the countertops, much to mommy's dismay. I can't take my eyes off him for a second!

Take hour long bubble baths in my bathtub. The boys have created a new game of diving into the water and Len would NOT approve. It gets way to much water on the walls, but they have so much fun doing it and I love hearing their laughter. Whenever Will gets water on his face or in his eyes, he wants a towel to wipe it off. Now, everytime Will wants a towel, Walker says "taul" and has to have a towel to wipe his face off too. He wants to do everything Will does. It's so cute.

 

 

 

 

My new Camera

I'm so excited about my new camera. I'm like a kid on Christmas morning. I've been wanting one for years now. I can't believe the difference in the quality of pictures. Here are a few I took tonight. I think I've found my newest obsession!

 

 

 

Walker looking at the ornament he made at preschool. He was so proud of it and hung it on the tree all by himself.

 

My new camera

I'm so excited about my early Christmas present! I was just practicing using it tonight and took a few pictures. I can't believe what a difference it makes in the quality of pictures. Walker has gotten extremely attached to his "blanket" (that's what he calls it) in the last few weeks. We don't know where it came from, but anytime he gets hurt or gets in trouble he immediately says, blanket in a crying voice. It is so cute. He is my paci, blanket baby for sure. Will was never attached to anything like that so it's fun to see the difference in their personalities.

 

 

 

 

Breakfast with Santa

These are the only pictures I took at Breakfast with Santa this year. My kids were in horrible moods and we ate, filled our bags with the crafts, didn't get our picture taken with Mr. and Mrs. Claus and high tailed it out of there.

 

Watching Mr. Walt read "Twas the Night Before Christmas"

 

Do you see the big hole in Will's hair? That would be my fault. I was trimming his hair and decided it would be a good idea to use Len's buzzers to trim up his sideburns. He moved and I had taken the guard off and that's when I shaved a huge chunk out of his hair. I have never seen Len so mad at me. Who knew he would care more about his son's hair then I would? I just had to laugh b/c there was nothing we could do about it. I'm just going to let it grow back out because I really don't want to shave his head.

 

Me and Laura Beth with Carolina and Walker. He was so tired and would not look at the camera.

 

Playing with Balloon

Walker got a balloon at Breakfast with Santa with a little elf attached to it. He loves "boons." That was the only thing to improve his mood this morning. He is normally so happy, but wasn't having any part of Breakfast with Santa. We didn't even stay to get our picture made.

 

 

 

Hanging out at Home

This has been a busy week, but it was slowed down by pink eye (Will) and Fifth's Disease (the last one was a self diagnosis, but Walker had every symptom of it so I just assume that is what he had). Here are just a few pictures I took around the house. Expect alot of blogging in the future because after I'm getting a new digital Nikon SLR for Christmas and I'm SO excited!!! I've been wanting one ever since my sister got one and I'm so envious of her gorgeous pictures. I probably won't be as good as her, but the reason why I got the exact same camera as her is so she can teach me.
