christmas morning

This is the picture before they headed off to bed. I don't think Gabe fell asleep for like 2 hours.

The boys got tons for Christmas. Anthony and Gabe got Transformer stuff from Santa to start off the day. William got a baby laptop...now maybe he will leave mine alone.




There were wonderful gift from Grandparents and Aunts and a few more from us. They got a Leapfrog Explorer which will hopefully not make for too many fights.

not sure who like the trucks from Grandma H and Grandpa B best

but best of all was the giant bounce house. Santa left clues and sent them on a hunt that ended in the basement. I can hardly wait for them to share it with their friends.

Gingerbread House take 2

Grandma H and Grandpa B sent us a gingerbread kit in their Christmas present box. The boys had a lot of fun decorating it.



William did not participate in anything but the eating. The gummies you see on the side of the house in the picture above we consumed by William as soon as the older boys left it alone. However, anytime William sees the camera he looks at me and says, "Cheese." How can I not take his picture too?

Peep Peep

I took the big kids to the Roundhouse Railroad Museum today. It was a perfect sunny day...warm, but not hot. Loved it. We left William with a sitter so the big boys could get a little mom time. It worked out great. Anthony and I read EVERY sign there. No really, EVERY sign. After I would read it, he would go through and find all the words he knew and try to piece the story back together. Loved it. The best is that there is a lot of run-around room. Great for growing boys!

Can't wait to go again!

The nice part is that without William I could actually take a few pics that I liked and not just snap quickly and hope for the best.

Run Run as fast as you can

First, we have the epic disaster of going to see Santa. Never again will I do this with 3 kids and no husband. If he is deployed, there will just be no Santa. Yep, it was that bad.


To make up for the disaster we decorated the giant Gingerbread man that grandma H sent us. The boys loved it. Ok, Anthony and Gabe loved it, and William loved eating the cookie.
