The boys were soo excited to see Grandma today! Chica was begging for her attention too. Pierce wanted to show me his silly face for the camera and of course Thomas followed along. They were cute.
Is this normal… being soo young?
I am finding most of my days finding Matthew in the bathroom with his comb and tooth brush. I am not sure if he is mimicking ”big brothers” work on perfecting their hairstyle and hygiene. I know this is a good thing, but I am a little worried. Has anyone ever study the obsessive, compulsive behavior that comes along with mirrors?
Is this normal… being soo young and intrigued?
All dressed up…enjoy them now.
Thomas all dressed up in Lane’s jacket… Can’t believe how fast they grow up.
Life is just too short…
I realized today…Life is just too short to worry about my floor when you see the joy in their faces.
Interpretation of Art.
Thomas and I decided to play an awesome game of Pictionary Man tonight. This fabulous drawing ended the game. Thomas decided to call it quits after, I lost again trying to figure out what he drew.
The Answer? EARTH.
I think I laughed for at least 30 minutes. I did have to ask for forgiveness later, because of my un-sportsman like behavior. 
A night out.
A great night out with my husband and big bro. Rob! A first night out for us in a long time…felt great!
One day I will get an actuall picture with my brother when he smiles AT the camera!
Santa the dog.
Our “Welcome Dog” has a new image. What would December be like without everyone getting into the Christmas spirit. Yep, that includes Jackson’s “Santa the dog”.
Granny “T” purchased this costume just for our Chica. Pierce thought it would look much nicer on the dog outside. I think the outfit went to the dog outside because Chica would not let Pierce get anywhere near her… It was a sight to see. Pierce chasing Chica around with the Santa skirt trying to put it on her. He finally gave in and had chosen another subject to dress as Santa.
Chica finally gets close in to sniff out the duds.
Celebrating!
I realized after taking this photo, I should move and quick!
Today, we celebrated Aunt Phyllis birthday.
Pierce thought he was a big boy because he had his own glass.
He was a tad bit excited.
Matthew found the step stool and was anxious to join in with more Cheers!
Matthew didn’t find the party scene much fun, so he went back to play with Mr. Reindeer. He actually tries to ride him. Mr. Reindeer doesn’t stand a chance. One pull on the horns and he falls all apart.
Christmas lights
Pierce was all about helping daddy with the lights.
The Christmas lights are finally on the house. Matthew was a big help!
Child-locks..love them!
Matthew has learned to carry this chair to any destination that he thinks is off limits. It is hard to keep up with his departing and docking times all throughout the day. All I can say is, Thank Goodness for Child-locks!!
After a fun day chasing Matthew around the house, I was much relieved when he was in bed for the night.
Lane and Pierce enjoy popcorn and a movie during Pierce’s “medicine time”. Chica had a little too.
Putting up the Christmas tree.
Chica was sporting her favorite Christmas sweater and was barking at the big green “thing” that was being drugged across the floor.
The little ones were all smiles and excited about putting up the tree.
The most excitement came when they could climb up and down, up and down the ladder. This was the “hit” of the night.
It was really cute watching even little Matthew try and hang his ornament on the tree with his brothers.
Yep, I wanted another picture of the boys with their Santa hats on. Didn’t go as well as I had hoped. Oh well.. There is always next year!
Perfect lighting…peaceful fire
Chica loves the fireplace. Especially when all kiddos are asleep.
Just us.
Our mantel with 6 stockings, plus one more for Chica.
Parade Stylin’
Pierce had a blast!
Thank you Grandpa Sams for inviting and hangin’ with Pierce at your Canyon Creek Parade!
Thank you daddy for decorating my bike for the Parade!
