I'm gonna try to catch up my blog even just for myself, so here is part one of who knows how many :o) I like to have this documented so when I go and scrapbook I can remember the details!
The trio one Sunday morning just before church. This is usually the best time to try and snap a picture of them all together, as they are typically dressed nice and are all clean at the same time :o).
Of course we use our tree as our back drop all through the Christmas season. This year we had to get a 7.5 ft. tree as our older 12 ft. tree was just to tall for the ceilings in our new house. I read several blogs during Christmas where families had 3 or 4 trees. Man I think I need to do a Snow Babies tree next year and maybe a kids tree of just their ornaments and then a theme tree like chocolate and golds. Hmmm I'll need to start thinking earlier next year about adding some more trees to our decorations. I will say though, that the boys did not mess with my decorations at all once they were up! I was so proud of them. I was actually able to put all my decorations up and nothing got broke :o).......
The boys on the last day of school before Christmas break. Bennett's wanted a Mickey Mouse Santa hat, and Brayden and Baylor just wore a regular Santa hat!
Cutie Kaitlyn at Bennett's classroom party. I'm the room mom, so I was responsible for leading the party. It was a fun time and I got to bring Brayden and Baylor with me as well. It was nice for Brayden to go as he had missed his class Christmas party the day before because he had a tummy bug. He was so broken hearted and kept telling me he felt fine although I knew otherwise. At least he felt like he got to have a Christmas party since he was included in Bennett's class party.
We decorated sugar cookies and here is Baylor frosting his cookie and licking frosting off with a knife :o)
They played Jesus Bingo and that was a big hit with all the kids. Love that our kids go to a Christian school so we can alter regular Bingo for Jesus Bingo! After all he is the reason for the season!!!!
Each child drew a name of one of their classmates and was responsible for purchasing a book for them. Here is Bennett opening his gift from Makena. He got a Snoopy comic book, which he loved!!!!
Bennett and Tatum just after school was released.
After we left from early release, we dropped Baylor off at home for his nap and headed to one of Brayden's classmates, Thomas' house for a pizza/cookie decorating party! There were 11 boys there and NO girls. Well there are only 3 girls in his class to begin with, but can you believe that no one has a sister for a sibling. Each of us had between 2-3 boys each. CRAZY?!?!?!
Brayden trying one of his creations!
Bennett showing off his creation.
It was a beautiful warm Arizona December day, so the boys played outside in Thomas' big back yard. We did manage to get the 11 boys to stop and pose for a few pictures :o).
The beautiful mommies and all the plates of decorated cookies!!!!
We took the trio to see the Santa at Anthem Mills one Saturday, and only had about a 15 minute wait. After Santa we ate lunch in the food court and then let the boys play outside on the play ground. Baylor went up and down the slide several times and LOVED every minute of it. Of course in true mommy fashion I hit a couple of the outlets stores while we were there.
The trio with the Big guy. Of course Baylor wanted nothing to do with him up close, so one of the Elves suggested we put him up front in a little chair. He seemed fine with that and at least we got a picture for Christmas 2009 with Santa!!!! I think he was saying, "Cheese" in the picture.
