Christmas!

Santa has come and gone: 



The most awesome boots from Grammy and Poppy-- a pair for each boy! 




Nina brought the beverages! haha... Just kidding. She brought it to pass on to another friend. 

I finally succeeded in surprising Nathaniel with a gift-- an iPod nano. 


The boys checking out their loot from Aunt Tamar :) How funny is C's hat? His special Santa request was an elf costume. 

Unfortunately-- the elf was naughty and was put in time-out. 
But isn't he the cutest naughty elf you've ever seen?

The boys generously allowed the grown-up girls to play with their new scooters! haha! Those things are fun!

Zooming around with an airplane from Uncle Rob!




An attempt at all three... which always ends up more like the picture below:

A tangled mess of little boys!

They're so big!

Aw! 

We are family!

W's special Santa request was a rudolph toy where his nose lights up. This one even sings the obnoxious song from the movie... bonus. 

My boys!

My home-girls!

hehe!

Bathtime: Dec 22

 Andrew is so funny... and he knows it. haha!

 William practicing making faces in the mirror.

 Aw! Showing off those missing teeth. I still can't believe it.. I somehow thought he'd stay little forever!






Rudesheim : Dec 19

Rudesheim (pronounced rude-es-hime) is a beautiful little village to visit! The drive down is lovely as well, following the Rhein most of the way there. I love it!

 Andrew and I took a quick visit there with Nina one day, while the big boys were at school. :)

 Mmm. Sausage anyone? 

 The river was totally flooded! Usually there is a pedestrian path in-between the benches and the river. I was fascinated by it! 

 Can you see on the far right how the poor boat ramp is at a steep angle to try to stay connected to the boat? 


Snowman : Dec 9

Horray! Our first real snow (and only one for the whole of December.. lame!)
 C's attempt at a snow angel. 

 Eating snow... a must.

Beginning snowman assembly!

Andrew sizing up our new friend.

 Silly W face

Putting on the finishing touches!

 Cameron is super excited! haha

 Sweet boy!

 Asking for my camera..

 Four friends

 Doesn't he look friendly?!
