Church Christmas Program 2016

The Christmas Program at church this year was adorable as usual. Beau did a great job singing, and didn't even try to trip anyone :)  Progress! Beau was very adamant to practice his Christmas songs at home, although he didn't like doing the motions because they made him "tired". I think he was just a tad lazy :)

Baine's Favorite = Bath Time

Baine's favorite thing to do, other than eat, is to take a bath. He can stay in there for an hour if I'd let him! He loves the bubbles, splashing, and trying to float even :) What a cheeser!

Spoiled By Babysitters

Beau and Baine are definitely in love with our babysitters---especially Kaylee these days. She is so good with the boys and is extremely patient with Baine. He does so well for her and never throws one of his tantrums. Maybe we just need Kaylee around all of the time? :)

Mommy's School Helpers

The other day the boys came to meet me at school so we could get to an appointment on time. The boys loved being in my classroom for a few minutes while I still had students in my room. Baine walked around with my candy jar handing out candy to all my students and Beau showed everyone how he can write his name on the board :) They are teachers already!

Cousins Prepping for Christmas

Well, we tried for a nice picture of the cousins. 3/4 is pretty good :) Thank you Bond for being YOU! :)

Aunt Brookie decided to dress Bond in match PJ's with Beau and of course needed a photo op :)

They actually sat still and watched Pete's Dragon at family dinner

Trying to pay attention at children's moment

Seeing Santa 2016

We took the boys last weekend to Mahaska Drug to go see Santa. Beau loves seeing Santa, and last year Baine did too. But this year, Baine was terrified! He started screaming instantly, held on to me for dear life, and wouldn't even look at Santa. So in order to get a picture, we had to do a family picture :) Maybe next year will go better!

Christmas Parade 2016

This year Osky did an AMAZING job with our Christmas parade. Not only were the floats beautiful and creative, but Osky "lit up" the square. It looks phenomenal! Nothing like adding a little Christmas  spirit to see every time you drive by at night.  The boys loved the parade. Baine kept calling the horse and reindeer "cows", but he's learning! Beau did have one important question: "Um mommy, why did I see two Santa's on two different floats????" "Oh Beau, Santa hurried and went and got on the 2nd float because he wanted to stay in the parade"  What else do you say to that?!: )
