Christmas (In January)

Christmas was quiet around here this year. Well, you know, as quiet as it gets in this house. On Christmas Eve we got the boys in their new Christmas jammies and snuggled up for a movie and hot chocolate. They still aren't really into holding still for a movie... or warm beverages, so we'll try it again next year!
 
This is as close as their lips got to the mugs.


Setting out cookies and milk for Santa. I hope reindeer like apples since I forgot to buy carrots this year!


 
Christmas morning! Nathan was adorable- the look on his face was priceless when we came downstairs to see what Santa had left under the tree. He would jabber away unintelligibly with a random "whoa" thrown in here and there for good measure.
 




Brady took a break to finish off Santa's leftovers.













Brady's gift to Daddy (new screwdrivers)

And Nathan was SO excited to see the gift that he got Daddy again (a level)!


I think you can tell how much Brady likes this one!

...and going

Our morning trek to the bus stop. Nathan insists on wearing a backpack too.







Santa's annual ride through the neighborhood

Nighttime routines



Getting ready for Jingle Jam
Post-concert horror show

Possibly my favorite Santa picture ever.



Brady was unfazed.

Celebrating Sam's birthday





Brady has developed an obsession with Sponge Bob mac & cheese. We were so tired of hearing him ask for it daily that we've declared Mondays "Sponge Bob Night."

Some rare cuddles


A quick stop to one of the coolest parks around.





The big man just hoists himself right up when it's time to wash his hands.


I love these monkeys.








I got smart and bought a pre-made gingerbread house this year. No structural failures!








And we'll finish with some silly hats...
