Bopping around with the Bobbsey Twins again!
and here’s Mr. Maxwell too for good measure!
Happy Thursday!
Cookie party
I totally was not planning on doing this on Saturday but we ended up making some pretty awesome Christmas cookies in the afternoon! We needed an activity and had plenty of cookie supplies on hand so thought, “why not?!”
My two helpers cutting out the dough while Baby was still asleep…
and then the whole crew was up to decorate!
Samantha liked the sprinkles…
Correction – she LOVED the sprinkles! ha!
They all worked so hard….
and did plenty of taste-testing along the way!
I’d say we ended up with some festive – and delicious – Christmas cookies!
‘Tis the Season!
A Birthday!!
WHAT?! It’s Daddo’s birthday??!!!! I’m so excited!!
What do you mean I don’t get to see him today? 🙁
Well, good thing I colored him this fantastic picture…
and so glad Spencer worked so hard on this picture for him…
and Maxwell made him a Millennium Falcon!
Happy Birthday Daddo!! Hope you have a zip-a-dee-doo-da kind of day! We love you!
Also, please go back and see the birthday cuteness from 2012 and 2011!
Christmas concert
On Friday of last week, Spencer had his Christmas program and it was as cute as could be. I really had no idea how Spencer would do “on stage” but he did GREAT! I was so proud of my buddy! He was looking extra sharp for the program…
I might have had to bribe him with a marshmallow or two to wear the collared shirt but that’s beside the point. 🙂
Because that’s just what I do, I got there extra super early so I could get a front row seat. I was glad I did too because, the way they had it set up, there were very few front row seats at all. But, they did have the kids up on a higher stage than Maxwell’s year so you could see them all better. Spencer was excited to see us right up front!
He did exactly what he was supposed to do during the concert. He didn’t sing the loudest, and he definitely didn’t do all the hand motions, but he stood still, paid attention, and gave me an awesome double thumbs up after every song. Yes, I got a thumbs up – and even some finger guns! – after every single song. It was awesome. He looked like such a big boy standing up there and I was just so proud of him. It was a HUGE crowd of parents watching them and he just took it all in stride.
I just love this kid so much.
Thumbs up to a great Christmas concert!!
And a little flashback…Maxwell at his 3s concert…
and Spencer at his!
Two handsome boys!
It’s beginning to look…
a lot like Christmas! Decorations are up!
I added garland to the upstairs rail this year and really like it!
And, of course, our mailbox is the pretties in the block thanks to Susan!
We picked out our tree last weekend and – note for next year – we should have gotten a bigger one! We went for about 8 feet and could have easily fit 9 feet or bigger. But, it’s still a pretty tree!
Santa Maxwell thinks it’s the best yet!
The rest of the house is all spruced up too!
Samantha loves it all so much she decided to match the decorations…
There’s no place like home for the holidays! Merry merry!
