Christmas party

The boys had their Christmas party at school yesterday, which was also their last day of school until the new year.  They enjoyed snacks and a gift (book) exchange.  It was difficult going back and forth from Rainey's room to Aden's room and vice versa but I made it work.  They both had a great time.

Rainey waking up from his nap...teachers said he was the only one to nap.  Now maybe if he stopped getting up at 530a, he wouldn't need such an early nap.  His friend was telling him "Rainey, your mom's here".  They get so excited when they see moms.

Aden was last one to wake up from his nap. 

His teacher is coaxing him up.

Not really sure what's going on

Mommy and Aden (who is 16 months old this day)

Checking out his new book

Enjoying some apple juice and cupcakes

Just like his dad...eyes shut for the picture

Checking out his new book too

Sick baby!

Aden was running a low fever Monday morning so he stayed home from school and hung out with Mommy all day.  I think it's a combination of cold, coughing, congestion and teething.  He's finally getting his seventh tooth in towards the back so it's a big one.  He's been working on it for over a week now.

Sound asleep on the way to drop Rainey off at school

Lovin' some straight apple juice,

since I usually dilute it water

Trying on Rainey's shoe

Still recovering

The next day....

Did we do too much today?

As I'm posting on the blog (right now), I noticed it was really quiet in the house but the boys were still up.  Well, I thought they were still up.  Aden was playing behind the bar stools under our island and fell asleep on the tile...poor baby.  And Rainey was passed out on the couch.  Neither one of them made a sound before they feel asleep.  Mission accomplished today.

Snow!

There's snow in Katy.  Ok, not really but a local church has snow, Santa, cookies and hot cocoa, and a train ride. 

My boys waiting patiently for Santa...

 

"My hands are cold"...well, yeah.

German Christmas Festival

We went to the German Christmas Festival in Tomball this morning.  The weather was nice, the food was great and the boys did awesome.  Both boys loved the pretzel but only Aden liked the bratwurst (and me, of course).

What a grill!

Christmas books

I couldn't find the boys this morning and looked all over the house.  They were sitting in the front room reading their Christmas books.  It was so sweet!!!

Fulshear Christmas Parade

I took the boys to the Fulshear Christmas Parade last night.  It was their first parade ever and they really enjoyed it.  They got to see "Ho-Ho" and he really looked like Santa Claus.  Rainey got a blue mohawk and woke up this morning asking for more "blue spray".

He's trying to take apart a glow stick.

What's wrong with this picture?

I miss my husband, l love him so.

I just want everyone to know.

He is a wonderful husband, doing great things.

I pray for him daily, He is such a blessing.

Snuggle buddies

I let the dogs sleep on the bed last night.  Dixie always jumps off at some point in the middle of the night but Gunner is always there in the morning.  Rainey crawled into bed at 5:00am.  I didn't say anything and pretended to be sleeping.  After he rolled around for a few minutes, he eventually went back to sleep with his leg across Gunner, of course.  They slept together for another hour.
