Christmas morning

December 27, 2012

What a fun Christmas day we had!  We woke up bright and early on a rainy Christmas day to find that Santa had indeed come down our chimney!  The night before Maxwell had left him some cookies and milk…

and Santa ate all of them except one little bite.  When Maxwell saw that little bite left in the morning he said, “Me put that in the trash.  but first me take a baby bite!”  and then took a little bite of the bit of cookie left before throwing it away.  silly boy!  🙂

The Santa haul….

Maxwell was super excited to see that Santa had brought him a fire truck, some books, a new Alabama “butt ball” hat and other goodies…

including a choo-choo track!  yay!

Spencer must have been pretty good too because he got a school bus and a book about school, a music player and some fun rolly balls.

He was really excited!  🙂

We played for a little while and hung out…

and then had some Christmas pancakes for breakfast before heading down to Montgomery for the day.  When we got back that night, Maxwell had to put on his Bama shirt to go with his new Bama hat…

and Spencer had to get a little workout in!  Apparently Santa knows he’s a little chubbo so gave him a dumbbell in his stocking!  🙂

ha!  It was a great Christmas morning!  Pictures from Montgomery tomorrow!

Zoolight Safari

December 26, 2012

Hi all! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! Ours was an adventure as always. Sunday Maxwell came down with the croup and was up barking like a seal all night long. We had him at the doctor by 8am on Christmas Eve and got some a steroid prescription and it worked pretty quickly, thank goodness. He was feeling much better by that afternoon and slept pretty good that night. Good thing because he needed to be rested up for Santa’s visit!

Despite Maxwell’s nasty cold, we had a great Christmas day and, yes, Santa did deliver that fire truck and choo-choo track he asked for! He also brought Spencer the school bus that Maxwell had requested for him. That Santa is pretty good! Full details on Christmas day to come tomorrow.

For today, a little zoo action. On the 22nd, we went to Zoolight Safari. It was really neat and really, really cold! We bundled the boys up as best we could – Spencer in a fleece bunny suit and Maxwell in his Elmer Fudd hat…

Ready for some lights!

We met some friends there and Maxwell got to hang with his new buddy, Jack.

Notice those red mittens on Maxwell (or mit-mits as he says!) – those are now his favorite things and he’s been wearing them every day, even though it’s been 60 degrees out!

We rode the train…

and the carousel…

After that, we were freezing and decided we had had enough Zoo for one night so headed out to get some pizza. A fun holiday night!

See you all later!

Ho Ho Ho

December 24, 2012

Back in mid November, the boys and I visited Santa.  Maxwell was not fond of him at all!  We ended up using one of the pictures from this day on our Christmas card this year – check back tomorrow to see it if you haven’t already!

A few other photos from that day that didn’t make the card…

Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas Eve!  We’re off to bake some cookies (and by that I mean open a package of Oreos!) to leave out for Santa tonight.  Can’t wait to see if Maxwell gets the fire truck and choo-choo track he’s been asking for and if Spencer gets the school bus that Maxwell told Santa his baby brother needed!

Merry Christmas!

What?!

December 22, 2012

Whaddya mean only 3 days to Christmas?!  Nobody told me that and I haven’t sent my list to Santa!

I know Spencer, it seems to sneak up on us every year!  But don’t worry, your big brother has seen Santa several times and told him what you want…or at least what he wants you to get!

Oh goodie!  So glad Maxwell was looking out for me!  Big brothers are the best!

Let the countdown begin!
