Today we did a lot of playing outside since the weather was nice and the boys are feeling better. We played in the backyard and then I took the boys for a wagon ride around the neighborhood. Luke mailed his letter to Santa too.

Luke is always making Will laugh I can tell these

two are going to be best buddies!

Larz Garrison Hanson

Our very good friends the Hanson's who live in Green Bay had a early Christmas this year welcoming their baby boy Larz. His big sister Evelyn is a little older than Lukey and she is just as sweet as can be. They are all so excited!

Ruby and Will

Peek A BOO I am too cute!

He loves to eat too. His favorite is mixed berries and Bananas.

On Wednesday night we went to our neighborhood Christmas party. They had a great dinner at our clubhouse and then they had a choo choo train that took the kids all around and to the teen center where Santa was. Mrs. Claus was reading a book and they had face painters there too. All the kids loved it. Especially the choo choo!

Luke was talking about Santa all day until it was time to tell Santa what he wants for Christmas then he got very shy. Daddy had to sit with Santa and Luke. Lukey asked for a choo choo train for Christmas this year.

Santa and Will.

Will was not sure about this Santa but still didn't fuss and was a good boy.

Daddy and Luke on the Choo Choo again going back to the clubhouse.

That night when we got home the boys both got fevers and were not feeling well it was a long night for all of us. Ben took this one of me and the boys I think around 3 in the morning. I forgot to mention that at the party earlier Luke fell through the chair at dinner and smacked his head onto the ground so we wanted to keep a close eye on him all night anyway. Then the fevers came so we all were one big happy family in bed that night.

I love this picture so much. I know one day when the boys are older I will look at this picture and miss my sleepless nights with them. It is true what they say. When boys are sick all they want is their mama.

Luke likes to change the date on our countdown to Christmas calendar.

This weekend we had Ben's staff and husbands/ boyfriends over for a Christmas party. It was so much fun. The food was great and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Sonia told us all she is expecting baby number 2 in June too. We were all so excited for her, Gary, and Addie. Mark was of course the life of the party.

AO staff and loved ones.

We all played a fun game and they each won a great prize

Luke played all night long pretty much he didn't get to bed till after 11.

Renee taking her shot. Ben got everyone to take shots it was funny. Mark tried to give Liz a lemon that was sitting on a shrimp to suck on after her shot. YUCK!

We had all the extra chairs out the next morning and Ben and I were cracking up that he made his own train out of them. He lined them up perfectly and then put his stuffed animals behind him to go for a ride. Ben got him to say ALL ABOARD!

Still playing with the chairs that afternoon it sure kept him busy.

Will crawling to me all smiles my sweet baby boy.

Tonight Maya, Sameet, and Karina came over for dinner it was so cute to watch the boys and Karina play together. Karina is so sweet and smart!
