This is a Christmas special. the fun of the holidays thrown into one long post. the boys were excited about Christmas! Ryan actually rememers wheat its all about and was counting down the days! Kyle just knew he liked the candy and goodies and the " count down" calendar where he often got a treat! I soon shanged that to the little majic grow animals. The boys made a gingerbread house! and like most of their crafts did not want o stick to a design and put candies everywhere. the house had probably 6-8 chimney's on it!!
Kyle was right in on it! Loving the fact that i was letting him eat as many as he put on!
busy little fingers! they did a swell job! quite a masterpiece really!!
The finished product! I love it! .... ok, so 4 chimney's...that you can see!
Ryan loved "shopping" in the sears wish book! he spent hours circling things he liked and things he thought Kyle would want. Mom even ordered him the one thing he wanted so bad... but thank you Sears it did not arrive as promised and i am still waiting for it. pretty upset about that one:(
watching the grow capsules dissolve!
Stealing candy. just pushes a little chair up and helps himself
Then the older one joined him! ... whatever...it's Christmas!
Kyle is obsessed with hippo's! so I bought hima aHippo hat and made hima cute little Hippo shirt that turns blue in the sunlight
( thank you Karissa!) Here are teh boys in their new Shirts. Ryan wanted an Eberle jersy. and Randy's is one the boys made with thumb prints. it has a centipeed on each side. a bigger one for Ryan and a smaller one for kyle. it says" I love you" "So do I"
What's more fun than licking frosting?
Christmas Eve was spent with our "other family" Baba J and all the rest of the J's. of course it was fun and the food was delicious! And I was once again Thankful for life as it has turned out. bad part... i never took my camera. mostly because i wanted to enjoy myself without being behind a monster lens and because we were typically late and i forgot it! But i will always remember and regret that I never ate more!!
