Just Yesterday

It seems like just yesterday Max wore his big brother shirt.




Now, we have another brother who is about to be the big brother. I think he will be a little more jealous than Max was, but we will soon find out!

We have been hanging around the house more and more these days. Sheldon went back to work after being off a few days at Christmas. A few days later, I got a stomach virus. So the boys and I have been spending a lot of time at home in our pj's.

They have been having so much fun riding Crocker's new bike. Crocker can pedal it like a pro and rides all over the house. Sometimes, he lets Max drive while he rides.





We have been shooting a lot of animals.



Max has been building lots of different things with a set if k'nex.



Crocker still likes to drill and hammer. It is one of his favorite toys from this Christmas.



We have been playing a  lot of stickers and making different scenes with them.



Over the past few days, Max has really been interested in putting puzzles together. He does them all by himself and is always so proud! We usually have to leave them put together until Sheldon can see them!






We have been laying low and enjoying our time with our 2 boys before we add another one into the mix!

Anniversary

We had such a good time celebrating our anniversary. We went to the big city. We had a day full of shopping and eating out!

We got so tickled at Crocker trying to pick out his dessert.




We exchanged gifts the day before our anniversary. Sheldon bought me the prettiest necklace and 5 roses for 5 years. I bought him a coat. lol. I definitely got the better end of that deal!

Random Pictures

Crocker loves to wear costumes. Here is our favorite firefighter with his heels.



Max loves to write words. I was really impressed with this one. It is "hrt". It spells hurt. I am not sure what the circle with all the spikes is.



He also drew this guitar.



The have been playing with their busy bags a lot lately. In this picture, they are playing clothesline.




I found a good deal on canvas prints. I ordered this one of the boys.

Merry Christmas

On Christmas Eve, Sheldon had to put together Crocker's new bike. I was trying to take a picture and I guess getting on his nerves. This is finally the face I got. ha!



We went to the Christmas Eve service at church. When we got home, the boys ate a snack while Sheldon read the Christmas story from the bible.



Then it was time to open 1 gift.



They each opened new pj's.



After they went to bed, we set out their gifts.



They slept in the next morning and were so excited when they came upstairs.



Crocker loves his new bike and he is already riding it all over the house.



Max's gift from Sheldon and I was a nerf gun set.



It comes with 2 of everything, so his daddy can play with him.








They played for a little while and then opened the rest of their gifts.





They opened their stockings and started eating their candy.



We had a few more gun fights and set up targets to shoot.





Then it was time to go to church. I was able to take a few pictures before we left. 







The kids sang a song at church.



Max did good, but Crocker was too interested in feeling the beads on the girl's dress behind him.





After church, we came home and ate lunch. After naps, we played with new toys and watched new movies.


We had such a good Christmas and had such a good time spending it together.

Christmas Party

We hosted a Christmas party for our close friends and their families. We had appetizers and all exchanged gifts. We had such a good time and are so very thankful for all the friendships we have!

From us to you...
