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!

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.
