December Activities

The month of December always seems like a whirlwind of parties and celebrations. This year it seemed even more quick than usual. Tad was tied down with a trial the first 2 weeks of the month. The way the birthdays line up in our family we have a celebration every week. We started off the month with my Brother's birthday, exactly a week later the boys, and then a week after that Tad's birthday followed by Christmas. To sum it up, dessert, cake, and more dessert. The boys began to think every weekend it was time for another birthday.

We have enjoyed our weekly play dates with our good friends Jill & Mackenzie. The boys love both of them. We decided we would brave a cookie baking experience together with the kids.

There was a mild obsession with sprinkles from 2 out of 3 of them. It was funny to watch. Connor decided he would just eat his instead.

It is impossible for us to get a great picture of all of them. Seriously we tried everything but no luck. We achieved our goal- kill the morning with something fun and take some pictures. We had low expectations so we weren't disappointed.

We went to my mom's Christmas Eve for dinner.


The boys love playing hide and seek. It is so funny to play it with them. Usually it goes something like this- they ask you to cover them up under something, then go count, then come back and find them....or they will take turns counting, seeing the other one hide under a blanket and then act all excited when they "find them". What is more hilarious they will play this over and over for up to at least 30 min. and several times a day. We have to tell them to stop and go play something else.

Playing Hide and Seek w/ Papaw (their great-grandpa). They all got so tickled at this. It was great!

Thanks so much Michelle and Tad for sharing your family with us on your blog. What precious boys!
Brings a smile to my face to read about them.
When I need a bright spot in my day I check to see if you have added to your blog. Which is what I did this morning. Thanks!
Love, Aunt Marlene
