Zoolight Safari

Tonight we went to the zoolight safari at the Birmingham zoo with our neighbors the Tingles. There were tons of Christmas lights to look at, a carousal, and lots more. It was cold but the boys and Addison had a great time. Their favorite part was dancing to the lights to music. Bryson called himself a "Christmas ballerina!" I am sad that I didn't get more pictures but my camera decided that it didn't want to work anymore!

Christmas crafts

Not the most creative craft project but the boys had a blast. As you can see Branning got restless at the end and started putting the stickers on himself (and tried eating a few). Bryson was so proud of himself and even put in on the frig and said, " now everybody can see it and they will wuv it!" So cute!

Christmas party at school

Yesterday was the boys last day at school before the getting out for the holidays. They had so much fun at their party. They went on a pretend trip on the Polar Express, visited with Santa and had a book exchange with their friends. The funniest part was when Branning got on Santa's lap and gave him the stare down. Santa said, "I am a little intimidate by this kid, I would be scared not to bring him presents." This is funny because it is so true with Branning, he means business! Both boys had a blast and I think they are finally settling into their new school.

Getting ready for Christmas 2009!

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! Ours was uneventful but fun. It was great having Amy and Allison home for a few days and the boys loved playing with them.
The weekend after Thanksgiving we put up all the Christmas decorations. I wish I had some pictures of the kids decorating the tree but someone had to save the ornaments from being destroyed. How to you explain to a 18 month old (a very active and independent 18 month old may I had) that thought the ornament looks just like a ball, but you can not throw it. Luckily only one ornament was harmed in the tree decorating this year! Now I spend my days guarding the tree and picking up the ornaments that Branning has slipped pass me. I am hoping the fascination of the tree will wear off soon or it may be a short holiday for the ole' Christmas tree. I did manage to get a few pictures of the boys after the tree was finished. Enjoy!

Crazy Boy!

Disney on Ice

This was our second year to go to Disney on Ice. Bryson loved it. He got scared in a few places and didn't know some of the characters but he loved watching them skate on the ice. I had a blast too! He was fun to sing along to songs from movies that I grew up watching. We can't wait to go next year and take Branning too!

Happy Halloween!

We had another great Halloween party this year! We asked each of our friends to bring a dish and bag of candy (and yes we went through ALL 25 bags) and we had a great time visiting and trick or treating. We also had a fire pit and of course two televisions so we wouldn't dare miss any of the football games. We had a great time and can't wait until next year!
