Christmas morning...

Christmas snuck up on me this year.  It came way too fast.  But here are a few pics.  

Did you know that if you do not have a chimney, Santa uses his magic and makes one appear in your house.  This way he can get in and out without ringing the doorbell.  (Thanks to "The Santa Clause" for teaching us that).  And look, he left foot prints again.

Tim got Madden football for the Wii.  All the boys loved playing it.  James just kept repeating over and over, "foo-bawl" and pointing to the TV.  What a cutie.  And I'm not sure if you knew this, but playing Wii is apparently hazardous, check out Tim's head wear.

My parents got James this b-ball hoop and he loves it.  He plays basketball everyday, no exaggeration.  

The only thing Matthew wanted for Christmas was a car or motorcycle.  He wanted nothing else.  Luckily, Santa came through and delivered.  At the same moment Matthew saw the jeep, he saw a bottle of bubble bath by his stocking.  He promptly ran to the bubble bath and scooped it up and studied it.  "How did Santa know I like bubble baths?"  he asked gleefully.  Uh yeah, bubble bath, great.  Did you notice the car parked right next to it?  Who knew how simple Christmas could have been?!

Vroom vroom.  Unfortunately, it rained all Christmas day.  But the next day we got to take his sweet ride out for a test drive.  I even tried it out.  So much fun and he loves it.

Merry Christmas!

We had a great Christmas this year. Matthew got all the presents he wanted and James finally got to get those chubby little hands on some wrapping paper and ribbon. Matthew wanted a "reindeer shooting game" (which is a deer/elk/bear hunting game that comes with a rifle you plug into the TV). I wasn't sure about this game at first. I didn't like the guns and shooting, but you're not shooting people and you actually learn gun safety. And besides, my dad is a hunter, and he's a pretty normal guy. For the most part ;) I'm sure there are many 3 year olds out there that asked for their own "reindeer shooting game." It is all Matthew wanted and when asked, it is his favorite present. Santa did not disappoint.

Matthew was so excited that Santa ate his cookies and drank his milk. It was really cute. He bypassed his presents to see if the cookies were gone. Santa even left snowy footprints at our house.

(Sorry, some of our pictures turned out blurry!)


(I think Matthew looks like he is a poster child for the NRA or a group of crazy white people.)
We hope you all had a very joyous Christmas! We wish you peace, happiness and love in the new year to come!

New York, New York!

My parents went to New England a while back and sent us these fun New York shirts. Matthew loved his, especially because his grandma sent it to him. Thanks, Grandpa and Grandma!

This is for Lindsey...

For Matthew's birthday, his Aunt Lindsey got him Play-Doh.

He loves it. It even came with "paper-cut scissors"

(otherwise known as scissors, fortunately they're not even

sharp enough to cut paper). I bet you wish you had a pair.

Here are some pictures he took today of his Play-Doh sculptures.

Yes, this dog has two noses and three eyes. Is that a problem?

This is a school bus. His proudest achievement,

although his mom did most of it. Shhh, don't tell,

I'm not sure which one of us would be more embarrassed.

This is a snake.

Oh no! The snake got the school bus!

I love boys! They are so fun!

Even Super Heroes Fall...

Matthew got a Spiderman costume for his birthday. He took it for a test run. And just ignore how funny I look when I run to get him.

Transformers...Robots in disguise...

Matthew got a Transformer for his birthday and loves it!

Optimus Prime rules!
