Life with boys...
Love when they play nicely together.
Got the treats ready for the school bus drivers!!
And a fun treat for Jack's class party.
This is how you play when you are a 3 year old boy!
Zombies on an alligator!
Cheese!
The week before Christmas was spent dealing with the flu. It started with Jason, who then snuggled with Wyatt, who then snuggled with me. Wyatt went to the doctor and got on medicine (and Jack and Ethan got preventative meds to keep them from getting it) but Jason and I suffered. It knocked us both out (although luckily at different times) and we each spent two days flat out in bed, unable to do ANYTHING. I resigned myself to the fact that the things I wanted to do before Christmas was not going to happen and just sat back an enjoyed what we could do.
By Monday night we all had cabin fever so we packed up the car and headed north to Cartersville to drive through some Christmas lights and then get out and walk through to the petting zoo.
It was cold and muddy (it had rained ALL DAY the day before) but we had fun. Here we're saying hello to the reindeer before they get ready to fly Santa around.
Two wise men...
...and a Mommy, since Wyatt didn't want to participate.
Ethan really enjoyed the goats!
How ya doing goat, say hello to ya mother for me!
This is a joke from Mark Walburg that Jason loves to say.
Not quite sure why, but there is a pumpkin here, not really Christmas'y but cute.
Christmas Eve was very casual. I spent the morning making the labor and time intensive Christmas sweet rolls that my grandmother used to make. Then we just hung out and watched National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation until bedtime.
Then it was time to leave out cookies for Santa.
And sprinkle reindeer food on the lawn.
It has sprinkles in it to help show them where to land.
Drop off the cookies...
...and then climb up to bed, where hopefully visions of sugar plums dance in their heads and they fall asleep quickly!
