Sledding!

Can't even see the poor kids face, think he's bundled up enough? 

Somehow me and the boys all fit on one sled.

Christmas!

FIrst of all I have to share a Breitling quote of the day.  If I was a facebooker this would be facebook worthy.  When we pulled up to a bounce place I told Breitling that it might be more crowded than usual because kids were out of school and his response was "oh, so there will be more girls there for me to find to marry?"  Hmm, not exactly what I was getting at.  Who knows where this kid gets things.  Maybe showing him our wedding pics wasn't such a good idea:)

Just waking up.  He was so excited even though he didn't know why he should be.

Breitling on the other hand knew why he was excited and was determined to go see the presents, but Henry thought it was funny to block him.

First thing Breitling did was check to see if Santa had eaten the cookies.  Of course he had:)

Henry was all over this present opening thing!  Such a cute age!

Santa brought them cool cars!

Then Daddy put on his Santa face and handed out the rest of the presents.

Santa heard his cries for a Cowboy!  He couldn't be happier and takes his "best buddy" everywhere with him!

Cute towels huh!  Thanks Aunt Jeanie! 

He did it!  This one was 3D and very hard!  We even had to enlist Dad's help:)  He was quite pleased he got so many different cowboy things.

All dressed up for Christmas dinner!  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for the handsome sweaters!

So lucky he got a huge dinonsaur puzzle!  Thanks Aunt Joanie!

Dad helped them put together their huge train now that they got more pieces.

Breitling helped make this car road shirt for Parker for Christmas.  It is supposed to giving Parker a massage as they run the cars across.  Not sure if it really worked, but the kids enjoyed it. 

I had this great idea to make the kids Christmas trees with my extra crate paper.  When Dad gets involved things don't usually go as planned.  I was definitely not planning on being a tree too. 

Thanks grandma and grandpa for the Christmas jammies!

Then of course Dad had to make some fun out of all the Christmas boxes. 

Not fast enough?  Add a pillow!

Our Merry NonChristmas/Christmas Eve Day...

Our Christmas Day was a bit wierd since Parker worked his double shift so we decided to celebrate Christmas on the 26th and just make today a party day for me and the two boys since we were alone most of the day. 

First I made them a bean bag toss.  They were quite thrilled with my creation which couldn't make me happier!

 Then we had apples and nutella/peanut butter for a snack.  I am eating my apples reading when next thing he looks up at me like this and roars!  Funny boy. 

And Henry always has to follow his brother so the next minute Henry was smearing his nutella all over his face and roaring:)

 Then we made the cutest Santa faces.  That was a hit too!  Once again I was pleased.  Breitling is in the middle of saying "Ho, ho, ho." 

 When Daddy came home he thought it funny to sit on Santa's lap.  What did he ask Santa for?  Gummy bears!  Well, too bad he asked Santa the day of Christmas when all the stores are closed because I don't think he is getting any:)

 Then the boy's sweet Alaskan grandma came and made Breitling's day with a cowboy guitar.  Metal strings and all.  He loves it!  He had me put on his cowboy cd's and has been jamming out all day! 

 And since dinner was during Parker's nap before work we didn't get to have a fancy Christmas dinner so I made Santa pancakes for the boys!  It must have been another hit with all that whip cream because Breitling asked for seconds and that doesn't always happen:)

 For our Christmas eve program I made them darling little nativity hand puppets.  They loved my nativity puppet show, but I am still not sure it was worth the time making them.  All those little faces took a long time!

 Is it just me or does it look like Henry is flying in this picture?  Dad got them the coolest Cowboy pajamas for their Christmas jammies.  For once getting him to take off his cowboy clothes to go to bed wasn't a fight! 

 And again our cute little copycat had to lay down since Breitling sparaticly laid down.

 They even have a bum flap.  So cute!!!!

 After seeing pics of his Uncle Garrett leaving treats for Santa Breitling had to also.  He went to bed and a few minutes later came out saying he had forgotten to leave a note for Santa like Garrett did.  So we helped him write a note asking for of course a cowboy! 

 And since Breitling came back out to write a note Dad let him have hot chocolate too.  Hmm, if I were him I'd come out every night in hopes of hot chocolate:)

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Handsome!  Parker always loves the nice sweaters his parents send!

 Henry could hardly contain himself he was so excited for Dad to open presents.  He will surely enjoy Christmas this year!

 So sweet! 

 Breitling helped me make him Punch bowl cake.  Chocolate cake, chocolate pudding, whip cream, chocolate candy bar....All of our favorite by far! 

 And riding the crab off to bed after a fun night!  No wonder they like Dad to take them to bed!

Meeting Santa

Breitling was very thrilled that this Santa lived in a tent.  He was thrilled to meet him and tell him what he wanted for Christmas.  A Cowboy of course!  Nothing much has changed:)

 Henry on the other hand was not so pleased!  Don't worry I didn't make him sit there long.  Just long enough to get a classic picture!
