Oreos

Well, I use to only like the cookie part of Oreos, but now all I like is the white inside and then I throw the cookies on the floor!  Thanks for all the cookies, Santa!

Match

Look! I made Peter match me with his own grown up bib.

Where is Parker

Does anyone know where I am?


Oh, you found me!

Christmas Lights

We had a great time checking out Jolly Holiday Lights tonight!

They had evertything from Dutch girls and tulips to

John Deere tractors.

When we got back to Grimes, we were still enjoying all the lights. We decided to drive by the 'Gingerbread House'.

Legos

We made it home and thanks to the Welch family, we have Legos to play with! We even took turns stacking them and knocking them down!

Bath Time

We all still fit in Papa and G-G's bath tub, but

Lowell and I had a lot more fun acting like whales in our Christmas green water when the other two got out!

After we got out, we helped Mommy work out. It was a lot of fun to show G-G how we encourage Mommy and exercise with her!

Presents!

What a free for all we had this morning opening presents.

When all was finished, we all got everything we asked Santa for, including laptops!

Our favorite toys, were toys from when Daddy was a little boy. Mommy is sure that other people will remember this Fisher Price cash register as much as she does!

Parker also enjoyed trying on one of Papa's presents. It seemed to fit him pretty well - we all knew he had a big head.....

Christmas Eve Party

A 3 generation shot, somehow we missed Papa. This is Grandpa Norman, Lowell, Aiden, Lawrence, Parker, and Daddy.

I'm not sure what Parker was up to tonight, but it was a crazy night for him.

Almost ready for bed, I can't wait to see what Santa brings tomorrow! Goodnight!

Getting Ready for Santa

Mom took us boys outside to leave some reindeer food for Santa's reindeer to eat while he is visiting our house. It was also nice a glittery so that they could find our house in all of this new white snow!

G-G has special plates for us to put our cookies for Santa on. We wrote on them what we wanted Santa to leave, and then we each picked out a cookie to leave for him.


When we were all finished, they lined us up on the couch and gave us cookies. That seemed to work pretty well to get a picture of all of us, Lowell (4), Lawrence (3), Aiden (3), and Parker (1.5). Normally we look like trouble makers, but not tonight, Santa is coming tomorrow!

Hard Workers

G-G made us some waffles for breakfast and they were tasty! We needed to eat a lot because...


When we were all done eating, we went out and shoveled the driveway and sidewalks for her.

She rewarded us with some hot chocolate when we got inside. It was great!

Family

Tonight, we met baby Greggory. I'm starting to take more interest in babies.

Aiden was more interested in sawing off Papa's head.

After all the hype with the baby, I decided I should make a phone call with Papa's special radio.

Snow

Papa and G-G have a lot more snow than we do. We watched Papa blow a lot of snow around this morning from our little perch inside!

Family Christmas

Last night, Allison helped us sprinkle some reindeer food outside, so that Santa would know that we were celebrating Christmas in the morning. We also left out cookies.

It worked! When we came downstairs in the morning, we saw that Santa only took bites out of the cookies. We decided that we should finish those off for him.


Santa brought me fruit snacks and a John Deere digger!

Mommy and Daddy also let us have Lucky Charms for breakfast....YUM!

Gingerbread House

Mommy and I worked very hard on our gingerbread house.

Parker ate a lot of frosting and tried to stick licked cookies on the roof.

It turned out pretty good, but

Mommy is still trying to keep Parker from eating it!

Reading

Daddy swears that G-G never read to him as a child, so Mommy wanted to make sure we had proof that she reads to us.

Snow!

We returned from KC with snow on the driveway, but I didn't mind!


I enjoyed making snow angels while Parker made tracks in the snow.

Time To Go Home

It became very apparent to Daddy and Mommy that it was time to go, when both of us boys needed to be carried back towards the hotel.  Goodbye KC, we will miss you!

Holiday Express

After visiting Santa, we got on the Holiday Express.


There was lots to look at on the Holiday train including model trains, Santas, snowman, and even the Grinch!

We also got to see a train up close when we got off the Holiday express. It was great.

Santa

I'm starting to warm up to Santa, but Parker isn't quite so much. I asked Santa for a John Deere digger. I sure hope he gets the message!
