Christmas Fun

'Tis the Season for silly Christmas pictures and visits with Santa.

We strung the boys up before decorating the outdoor tree.

 

The thought it was hysterical!

 

Goofy guys

 

Atlas Valley brunch with Santa is one of our favorite events. Amazing food and unlimited access to Santa without any wait. Last year Max was very unsure of the guy in red . . . not this year.  He waved to him through our entire meal, then was the first one to walk right over and hop onto his lap.  He was all smiles and talked with Santa for a very long time. 

 

He told Santa he is 3 years old and would like a Firetruck for Christmas

 

Love this picture :)

 

Crazy to me how BIG Blake is!!!  He looks too big to sit on Santa's lap!

 

 

Bryce was a little uneasy with Santa.  Probaly because he knows Santa has been watching.

And ofcourse the annual golf cart picture. 

Thankful for Family

We had a fun Thanksgiving with Tim's family and my parents.  The weather was in the 60s and the kids (and adults) were outside living it up!

 

Blake and Bryce in their Lions gear

 

Sometimes a brother just needs a hug.

 

I found the coolest table cloth at Target that the kids can draw on, play tick tack toe, color turkeys, etc.  We all had fun with it :)

 

My Mom surprised my Dad by making his mother's recipe for "dressing".  He was so excited, he started digging in before anyone was even seated at the table.

Brotherly love

I think the funniest memory of the day was Bryce cleaning his plate (TWICE) and then he came to the other end of the table by me, asked me a question, then looked down and saw a plate with a buttered roll left on it.  He said "I'll eat that. Threw it in his mouth.  Then said, "who sat there anyways".  He didn't even wait for the answer, just finished chewing and walked away.  That kid LOVES to eat . . . a lot.

FALL SOCCER

We had a beautiful day yesterday to end Fall Soccer season.  Both Blake and Bryce played outstanding, we are so proud of them!

Bryce played against his friend Landon, this picture shows them eyeing each other before they go for the ball.

 

Big kick from B-Ryce!

 

B has some nice footwork and does very well with his lefty

 

Nice pass, B!

 

Blake has the ball in the Green jersey

 

And a big kick sent it to his teammate in the center

 

Perfect assist, Blake!!  Nice work :)

 

Bryce & Landon

 

Now both boys gear up for indoor soccer season which starts next week.
