The boys LOVED that Pappaw had a train around the tree. They thought it was so cool.

Taylor kept talking to the "nutcrackers" and thought they were neat.

Callum's happy face
My very fav picture of the day. I told Callum to show me how happy he was with all his presents to show Santa.

Christmas Eve

IMG_8305


We had family and friends over Christmas Eve. We made tons of food and had a good time. The boys had a lot of fun playing with Amber.
Next year I'll have to do a little more planning if we do it again and maybe do a white elephant or set up games and stuff.

Callum poo pooed in the potty the other night!!!!
We made a huge deal out of it and I sang a song about it.
They thought that was funny.
At least that's moving in the right direction.
They are so excited for Santa coming to town.
I have a newfound excitement for Christmas morning all over again...and now for a totally different reason.
I really could care less what I get. As long as I get to see huge smiles on their faces.

Taylor told me he was building me a big house, made out of bricks so the wolf can't blow it down.



and...just because he'll probably kill me for this! haha.
My honey looking all preppy! my mouth dropped when he came in the door and I ran for the camera and continuously called him Professor.

The boys meet Santa

We went tonight to the Picture People to have the boys pictures taken.
We also took the boys by Santa Claus.
I hated how the girls were all about the picture and made them stop squeaking shit at the boys and just let them talk to Santa and take the picture that way.
It was more about having them meet him anyway.
They told him that they wanted cars and trucks and he gave them a coloring book that funnily enough was a story about twins!
