Couldn't resist!

I know I just posted but I just couldn't resist. This first picture is of Gabe with his ALL TIME FAVORITE TOY EVER!!!! of all the things he got for Christmas (including a kid friendly digital camera, huge tonka front loader, etc, etc) this is what Gabe cannot live without a silly Ikea hammering toy...he will not leave the house without it and plays with it for hours - literally:) Best part is it cost $5!
This is our handsome little man who is now in nursery (merry Christmas to me:) in his ADORABLE outfit he got from his cousin Erica...what a cutie!

Christmas fun!

Sorry, these are totally out of order....here are the boys opening presents with grandma and grandpa on Christmas eve...the boys and I went up there for Christmas eve dinner (Adam was at work). Making Christmas reindeer with grandma on Christmas eve Adam reading the Christmas story to the boys - Gabe was so excited to paint a 'Jesus star' -- unfortunately Kent got a hold of it just after picture and tried to eat it:)

FHE at Fantasy at the Bay (a drive through light festival at Willard bay)

Christmas eve making cookies for Santa - sorry about no shirts but I told the boys they could be as messy as they wanted:)

This is from our trip up to Idaho - we were able to spend a couple of days with Adam's family the week before Christmas...we had a great time but while up there Kent got pink eye and an ear infection and I got laryngitis - here is a pic of Kent feeling kinda icky Here is a picture of Gabe with his cousins at Nana's birthday party Adam has a fun tradition of building a gingerbread house with the boys - here is there finished product - I think it turned out SO cute!

Grandma and Grandpa Bartholomew took the boys to story time at SLC library and they read the gingerbread boy story then all the kids got to decorate cookies...This is Gabe decorating his!

Grandpa helped Kent decorate his

This is our tree Christmas eve with all the gifts Santa left for the boys

We have been playing musical beds lately so on Christmas eve somehow Gabe ended up on our bed, Adam in Gabe's, and Kent and I ended up on the couch - this is the boys waking up daddy Christmas morning

HOLY COW we got a lot of presents and had a FABULOUS Christmas!

Can we build it???? Yes Gabe can!!!!

Gabe and I went to Lowe's 'build and grow' activity on Saturday and Gabe made a cute little gingerbread house that opens and closes - I was a little leery to wrangle both hammer wielding boys alone so Kent stayed home with daddy and Lowe's let us take a gingerbread set home for him too!
Gabe was so awesome at hammering - he had so much fun...after Lowe's we actually went to Home Depot and did their 'Kid's Workshop' and Gabe built an awesome flag holder....a carpenter in the making:)

Clean teeth and Christmas trees:)

Okay - my mom and dad got me this CD for Christmas and I am totally addicted and I highly recommended it to everyone...my boys and I listen to it pretty much all day long! Thanks mom and dad!

The boys had their 6 month check up and GREAT news - no cavities, no broken teeth and no extra teeth (all of which we have experienced in the past with Gabe!)

Closed eyes but a beautiful tree and beautiful boys - the boys had so much fun taking off all the ornaments as soon as I turned my back...little stinkers:)

Helping decorate the tree (last week).....we are all SOOOOOO excited for Christmas this year...Gabe was asking for Santa to bring him a pumpkin for the longest time (last year all he would ask for was socks) but now he wants a helicopter, truck, and airplane. Kent I think would prefer playing in the Tupperware drawer to anything in the whole world...so who knows Santa might bring him a big box of Tupperware:)
