Merry Christmas! (In No Particular Order)

Our Tree...So pretty at night against the frosty world out the window...

William decorating his little house...

Jason and I took Charlie out Christmas shopping and out to lunch.  It was nice spending time with our little man!

We took the kids downtown to Holidazzle, and they both begged me for glow wands.  They were pretty neat, and pretty expensive!

The lights were less than impressive, and it was SO cold that by the end of the night it really didn't feel worth it...

Charlie needed a quick pre Christmas trim, and was such a good boy this time!

He looks quite adorable, and older!

Uncle Richard decorated his first Gingerbread house...he was very good at it!

Our Gingerbread Village complete...


The Candlelight service on Christmas Eve was nice, and the kids always love the candles!

After church the present opening commenced!  Will got a spirograph, and we were all happy to see one again...

Charlie got William the Gup F.  He was thrilled!
 
We tried to get a picture of the boys together, a few seconds later they fell over in the rocking chair!

LEGOS!!

Santa brought William the Teenage Mutant Turtle Secret Sewer Lair with all the trimmings...

William was so happy!

When Charlie came down and saw that Santa had left him a tool bench instead of the TMNT set, he was CRUSHED!  Santa Failed this year!

Thankfully Brother was willing to share...

William found a Grinch in his stocking...and loved it!

It wasn't all bad for Charlie, he found Santa had left him some M and M's which he scarfed down before breakfast!

What else is in there Charlie??

New little trains...

Charlie consoled himself with the new trampoline...It's not a bad Christmas after all!

Thankful For a Break...

William had a whole week off for Thanksgiving break, so I took advantage of the time off and took the boys downtown to the Children's Museum...


Charlie loves the water area and would stay there all day!  I brought extra clothes...


William took charge of the saw when we went to pick out our Christmas tree on the 29th.

Charlie wasn't thrilled by the cold and quickly went back to the warmth of the van. 

Will "helped" Daddy cut the tree down...

Will wanted to go see Santa, though he told me that this wasn't the REAL Santa...

Real or not, Will got 2 candy canes out of the guy...

Charlie got me this sweet little snowman for my Birthday...

Will rode the ponies, they were the same ones that they had a the pumpkin patch!

Charlie has been loving painting...
